How to hide content within span tag from exporting to CSV

texqas

Hello, I have CSV HTML5 button enabled on my data table to export data to csv. I have customized one column of my data table to display asterisk next to a string under certain circumstances and this asterisk is inside a span tag but it's also being exported to csv even though it's not part of the original data. Is there a way i can customize csv export to ignore the content inside span tag?

Thanks.

Hi @texqas ,

You'll need to use orthogonal data for that. For example, this here converts the value of a checkbox on export - so you'll need to do something like that,

Cheers,

Thank you so much.That did the trick. I didn't know about "orthogonal data" but now that I do it seems like an incredibly useful feature.
