Hidden Query Items Appear in CSV.

Troubleshooting


Problem

A Report Studio report contains hidden query items. Is it possible to export to CSV and not show the hidden columns?

Resolving The Problem

When saving a report as CSV, the data returned from the query is saved, not the data as it is formatted in the report. Therefore, it is not possible to hide hidden columns in the report when exporting to .CSV. All columns in the query will be exported to CSV.

You can save the report to Excel format and the hidden columns will not be included in the report. From Excel you can save the report in CSV format.
