Issue exporting a view to a .csv file: Data from the entire table is downloaded instead of the filtered or sliced data in AppSheet

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

In recent weeks, I’ve been experiencing a new issue that didn’t occur to me before and worked perfectly. The problem is that when exporting a Slice view to a .csv file, all the data (including all rows) from the entire table is downloaded instead of the filtered or segmented data in AppSheet.

Weeks before, downloading the file using the “export this view to a .csv file…” action only extracted the data filtered by the Slice user, without any issues.

The current expression I’m using for the Slice is as follows:

OR(
IN(USEREMAIL(), {“user1”, “user2”, “user3@”,“user4”}),
[USER_Sales] = USEREMAIL(),
[USER_Marketing] = USEREMAIL()
)

With this expression, I’m looking for the following effect:

  1. Fixed email list users will see all rows.

  2. Other users will only see rows where their email address appears in the [USER_Sales] or [USER_Marketing] columns.

  3. If no condition is met for a row, it is not included in the slice and therefore will not be visible to the user in the app.

The action I assigned to the table doesn’t take into account the Slice filter expression and downloads all the data.

Any recommendations or suggestions on how I can resolve this issue?

Unfortunately support has not been able to help me, as it is a common appsheet error.

We’re already halfway through November and we’re still dealing with this issue :frowning:
I managed to work around it by creating slices with the filters applied, but it’s frustrating because many clients were already used to creating their own filters and downloading their reports themselves, and now I have to send them again since something that used to work perfectly just stopped working.

Unfortunately, the problem persists. Let’s hope they fix it soon.
