Export hidden columns

Get Help
#1

Hi, we are currently investigating an issue with our exports to Excel.

Is it possible that version 0.40.5 Metabase exported all columns, even hidden ones?

After we migrated to 0.42.1, hidden columns are no longer exported. Is it possible to change this setting?

Our analysts have some flows after Metabase where they use hidden columns, which now are missing when they export to Excel.

One of the options is to make those columns visible, but we don't really want to show them on the dashboards.

Thanks,
Matus

Hi @matusp
You would have to create separate questions, or use "Only in details views":

A lot of inconsistency with formatting of exports was addressed in 0.41.
