When saving views and using the Pigment Connector to export them to google sheets, I’m unable to retain the “hide empty rows and columns” filtering selection. Is this a feature in Pigment or are there plans to add this feature any time soon? Thanks!
Hi
It works on my side when saving a view in a Table block using the “hide empty rows and columns” option.
Can you share some details on your source and Gsheet ?
Hi
This is using the Pigment Connector through Google sheets, not only exporting a table to Excel? Even in my saved views where I have empty rows / columns hidden, they still show up when I click “load view” in the Pigment Connector panel of google sheets.
Sorry to ask, but are you using a table and selecting the correct view ?
Hi
I had this issue recently and logged a ticket to the support,
Unfortunately, if you’re using “Hide Empty Row” in a table and export to GSheet you will still see blank rows. This is because GSheet evaluates tables as a single object instead of doing the export metric by metric and thus hiding the rows.
To illustrate this behavior, here is a quick example, where I have 3 basic metrics by year:
- Metric A is populated for the 4 years
- Metric B is populated only for 2 years
- Metric C isn’t populated at all
In the table, I get the expected result with 6 rows. However, during the export I have all the possible combination even the blank ones. This is because of the way tables are evaluated during the export, in my example, because Metric A has data for FY25, Metric B and Metric C will still show up during the export.
Please note that this won’t happen if you export a metric.
