When I am exporting a CSV from a KPI visual, there are additional columns appearing in the exported file. while the cols are empty its confusing and we have to go back and check if we are missing values or its a bug each time. below is the screenshot. how to avoid this.

Thanks in Adv!

Hi @sandeep.k,

Are these fields being used in your KPI visual in any way?

No. the only filed used is in the B col (applied AVG). rest 3, no idea why they are there

Hello,

Found what are thos cols are. The additional Columns are QS’ way to store custom calculations for Comparison methods Difference, Percent (%), Difference as percent (%) for secondary value for KPI visuals. Even if i turn off the secondary value, the cols still show up in export. Any way to hide it from the export?

Hi @sandeep.k,
I tested this as well and could not find any way to turn this off in the UI. I would suggest creating a support ticket, the AWS support team may be able to assist further with potentially adjusting this:

Tagging this as a feature request for ability to toggle these additional field options on/off
