I would find it very helpful to have more advanced export options:
- Firstly, it would be useful to be able to create PDF files from both tables and dashboards.
- For tables, I would also find it very advantageous if you could create an Excel spreadsheet directly.
- It would be helpful if I had certain setting options or could tell the AI what to look out for.
For me, these would be very useful enhancements that would save me time and effort.
## Your use case
I don’t just want to use the tables or graphics I’ve created online. I also want to reuse them, print them out, and send them by email.
Therefore, PDF or Excel table formats would be very advantageous.

Thank you for the detailed feedback and suggestions! We appreciate you taking the time to share your use case.
Currently, PDF and Excel export for tables and dashboards isn’t a widely requested feature yet, so we’ll keep monitoring the demand for it.
In the meantime, you can try using our **Build App** feature as a workaround — simply tell the AI something like “I need to support exporting data to PDF and Excel”, and it can help you build a custom app with that functionality.
Thanks again for your input!

Thank you for your quick response.
I have already tried using the BuildApp. Unfortunately, the results were not satisfactory.

Thanks for letting me know — sorry to hear the BuildApp results weren’t satisfactory.
Could you share a bit more about what went wrong (e.g., what you were trying to build, and what the output looked like)? If it’s convenient, please also send the app URL (or workspace/base link). We can take a look on our side and help troubleshoot.

In the meantime, I’ve gained more experience with Teable, and I have to say, I’m impressed by everything it can do. You’ve created a fantastic app that offers many possibilities.
Thanks to your suggestions, I tried once again to use the App Builder in Teable to generate an Excel file and a PDF. The Excel file turned out great, and I can easily make further use of it. The PDF was also generated, but there were large gaps between the graphics, or sometimes the graphics were pushed together. I had Teable try out different things.
Now I’ve found a way to export the file as HTML and then print it as a PDF. This preserves the formatting, and the results have been good.
Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Hi. I just voted for the advanced export options. The reason for that is that I tried to export to csv, but the CSV is really difficult to import in Excel as I do have text fields with ‘real’ text and sentences (product descriptions for example) and the export does not allow to choose the separator, and it makes the import a real pain as some line are carried away on the next row instead of the next column. I had another tool where that was how I solved the same import issue, by choosing a very specific character. But maybe this is something else and there is an issue with the length of those text cells during import in excel? I don’t know, but the point is still that my csv excel import is not working right now with lines being broken in 2 sometimes.
(Edited : I removed my question about international character set, it was just Excel being annoying)

@pierre Hi, thanks a lot for the detailed feedback.
The current description is still a bit abstract for us, so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s causing the import issue. Would you be able to share a short screen recording showing the export/import process and which kinds of cell content cause the rows to break?
That would help us understand the problem much more clearly.
