Example

When you select the XLS option for exporting, you can specify the number of root or parent nodes that you want to export. If you select 30 nodes and the Expanded to Level option is set to 0, only 30 root nodes are exported. If you select 30 nodes, and the Expanded to Level option is set to 2, 30 root nodes and their child nodes up to the second level are exported. If you select All nodes, all the parent or root nodes are exported. Similarly, if you select the Visible nodes option, all the parent or root nodes that are visible on the page are exported. When you set the Expanded to Level option to greater than 0, the child nodes of the selected level are also exported.
