How to include controls when exporting dashboards?

Question & Answer
1

I have a few control fields in my QS dashboard. If I export the dashboard as an excel spreadsheet I don’t see those control fields and their values.
How do I get these control fields and values?

Hi,
If you are referring to the Export to Excel functionality on a specific visual, it is currently not possible to include the control fields and values as part of that export.
However, if you export the Dashboard as a PDF the controls and associated values are exported with the generated output.
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes, that’s what I was referring to.
Do you know if future versions of QuickSight would have this feature (controls and values in the exported files)?

Yes, the exported pdf file does have the control values, but it would be useful if this was available in the Excel sheets as well since it’s easier to manipulate Excel files
Thank you.
