When filtering a Text based column in a Table view, we can apply filtering text that is used like a CONTAINS() type operation where all rows containing some version of the filter text are included in the filtered view.
However, when attempting to download that view, the file is empty. Adjusting the filter text so that it EXACTLY matches the full text in the filtered column, results in all those EXACT matching rows (but reduced from the initial filter) being downloaded into the file.
This indicates that there is mis-match when filtering is applied for viewing versus when it is applied for downloading from the same view.
Please update the download filtering so it applies a CONTAINS() type operation to be in sync with the filtering applied for views.
I prepared a quick test exporting filtered results to a CSV file and it actually worked fine for me so I must be missing something. Could you help me with more details?
In your example, you are SEARCHING, not FILTERING. I was referring to using the Filter feature and applying filter text to reduce rows to those containing the filter value.
HOWEVER, in trying to reproduce this issue, I cannot. There were two of us having this problem yesterday. After I posted here, we experienced issues with the app loading data which we thought was due to the large data size we were trying to load. After a couple hours, everything cleared up.
I suspect there was some background issue that was resolved and that issue was also impacting the filtering and CSV downloads. I will have the user re-try the CSV download with the same use case and then report back here.
