# CSV Exporter

> Export Airtable table records to a downloadable CSV or TSV file.

## What this tool does

The CSV Exporter reads records from your Airtable table and produces a downloadable CSV or TSV file. Use it to extract data for analysis in Excel or Google Sheets, share a snapshot with stakeholders, or migrate data to another system.

## How it works

1. Filla fetches all matching records in paginated batches
2. Linked record field values are resolved to human-readable strings (the linked record's primary field value)
3. The file is generated and uploaded to temporary storage
4. A download link appears in the run panel

## Getting the file

After the run completes, click **Download** in the run panel to save the CSV or TSV file. The download link is available for a limited time after the run.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How are linked record values exported?">
    Linked record fields are exported as the primary field value of the linked record (the record name), not as record IDs. If multiple records are linked, they are joined with commas.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are attachments included in the export?">
    Attachment fields export as URLs pointing to the file. The files themselves are not included in the CSV.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I export to Excel format?">
    The exporter produces CSV or TSV. Both open directly in Excel. For a native .xlsx file, open the CSV in Excel and save as Excel format.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is there a record count limit?">
    No. The exporter paginates through all matching records, so it handles large tables.
