- Idea: Enable copy or export of pivot-tables in interfaces. This functionality already exists in the pivot-table extention in the data tab. But not in the interface tab.
- User problem: I need to use the data from the pivot table in another tool. Copying or exporting is not possible. Printing to PDF has its own issues.
- Validation: Scoured all over the internet for a fix and actually got nothing that would work.
- How does it solve it: It solves the user problem because its the easiest solution. Just allow me to copy my outcomes.
- Target audience: anyone that uses airtable but needs added functionality outside airtable.
Enable copy or export pivot-tables in interfaces
Extra information:
Hi Guys, am working on a project were I use Airtable as database. I have an payd account. For cummunicating the outcomes of the project I use Flourish. The reason for this is because I need quite complex functionality for the graphs. Which airtable doesnt have and doesnt need to have. However, I cannot copy the Pivot table outcomes in the interface while keeping the table structure intact. Also, if i want to print the table to PDF and use OCR or Excel to extract the data to a structured table. I cannot always print the entire table, because the print-tool from airtable interface does not seem to understand that a pivot table can be bigger than 1 A4. The consequence is that it prints only partly, there is no option to scale.
This functionality does exist in the pivot table extention in the data-section. However, the pivot table in the data tab misses some basic functionalities like aggregating.
