Dear Community,  
when I export my app data and then open the resulting ods file, there are no columns there that were created by a lookup (in a Glide table). Is this intentional, or a bug? How do you work around this?

If you want to export computed columns, you can generate your own CSV export.

This uses the joined list technique that was originally described by @Purvang_Joshi [here](https://community.glideapps.com/t/export-glide-table-google-sheet-data-to-csv-using-joined-list-apps-script/27467). I hope others find it useful slight_smile
