Question & Answer


Question

A report with an interactive Data Table does not contain report data data when exporting to external formats such as CSV, Excel data or shows the message in Excel and PDF formats.
In the generated output the message is displayed: 
Data table rendering is not supported for this output type.
 
Is it possible to export a Data Table to Excel, PDF, or other formats with data?
