Export Data to CSV and Tab-Delimited Files as Text

Administrators use this system setting to specify if leading apostrophes are added when data is exported to CSV or tab-delimited files, so all fields are treated as text.

Note that this setting applies only to visualizations and analyses. It doesn't apply to pixel-perfect reports.

Valid Values

  • On — Leading apostrophes are automatically added to CSV and tab-delimited files during exports.
  • Off — Data is exported to CSV files as-is. Default

    Note that when Off, opening exported CSV files may invoke unwanted formulas.
