Unable to Export Layout Table Data with Dynamic Filters and Calculated Values

Need help
1

Hi Bubble Team,

I am facing an issue while trying to export data from a table on my page.

I am currently using a layout-based table (groups and text elements) instead of a repeating group. The table displays data dynamically using filters such as date selection and search inputs, and it also includes calculated values (for example, summed hours from related records).

My requirement is to allow users to click a Download button and export the exact data currently visible on the screen into a CSV file. This includes:

  • Only the rows that match the active filters

  • Dynamically calculated values (like sums and statuses)

  • The same values exactly as displayed in the table UI

However, I am unable to achieve this because:

  1. The table is not a repeating group and does not have a single data source.

  2. The “Download data as CSV” action works only with database searches, not with layout tables.

  3. My filters and calculations are applied at the UI level, so exporting directly does not reflect what is visible on screen.

Could you please guide me on the recommended approach to:

  • Export data from a layout table with dynamic filters applied

  • Ensure calculated/displayed values match exactly what the user sees

  • Handle cases where the displayed data comes from multiple searches and computed fields

Any best practices or workarounds for this scenario would be very helpful.
