Hello! I’ve seen this post: [How can I generate a CSV file from a filtered search?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-can-i-generate-a-csv-file-from-a-filtered-search/71226) And I thought it would work for me but I might be doing something wrong. I have a “current user” table in which I have all the filters user is applying. Based on those I am filtering a Query column, that is grouping data from another table. I want to generate a CSV file from this Query column, but it is not appearing in the options for source data in configure action menu. Is there a reason, and do you have any ideas how could I overcome this issue? Thanks ---

Is the target of the Query a Big Table? This does not work with Big Tables. ---

No, it is a connected google sheet table ---

Can you us some screenshots on how you’re structuring the flow and the columns? On which table you’re building the screen that houses the action to generate CSV? ---

Of course. So the logic goes like this, I have a google sheet table with insurance contracts called “Poistné zmluvy” and then I have glide table for current user’s filters called “Aktuálny užívateľ”. ![Screenshot 2025-02-22 at 12.56.39](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/5/c5f6f90c4225fabc67ff48381410a051e099c3b0.png) In “Aktuálny užívateľ table” I have a structure of filters like this: ![Screenshot 2025-02-22 at 12.58.40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/6/962a5baa5ccfc3fef060009748cf0940704e4a94.png) In a query column, I am basically filtering records in “Poistné zmluvy table” with parameters in “Aktuálny užívateľ table”: ![Screenshot 2025-02-22 at 12.59.56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/2/d234d8c2d7211a4e44ba6d4e7b9cd5ecd45f723f.jpeg) And I am trying to create an action that will create a csv. file from this query column, but as you can see, there is no option to select query column as a source of data: ![Screenshot 2025-02-22 at 13.01.22](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/d/5d56e74eafc686458d2dd27e2425ca7d6cc65828.jpeg) ---

That’s because your query is in the Aktuálny užívate table, but your workflow is connected to the Používatelia table. Is the screen with the button connected to the correct table? ---

Damn… what a stupid mistake. You are right… That was it. ---
