Can I customize my data export?

Is there a way for me to rearrange the way my form submissions appear in the .csv I download?

The info is currently in the order I asked the questions, however the way I store and use the data isn't in the same order. I can't figure out a way to order the data automatically. For now i am rearranging the columns when I download them, but that is getting very tedious.

Hello WVUPiKapp,

Please be noted that when your download your form's submission in excel, it displays the column in the same way your form fields are placed.

Though you can select the field you want to display in excel file but it is currently not possible to change the order of columns in excel report. To achieve your requirement, you will have to actually rearrange the questions in your form.

Hope this answers your query.

Do get back to us if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply. I was afraid that was the case. The questions flow more intuitively the way they are, but the data is better represented in spreadsheet form in a different manner, if that makes sense. I may rearrange a few things to make it a little easier when I do import though.

I'll just add that this would be a great future enhancement :)

Otherwise, this is a great resource and we are seeing huge returns with our forms.
