Instead of generating reports in Glide via rows using some integrations, I want to be able to generate reports via columns. For example, if five users log into my app today, and their information is recorded in different columns, I want to be able to download the data for all five users at once. This is different from the current method where reports are generated row by row.
When you say their info is recorded in diff columns, do you mean different table entirely? If yes, you’d need to create relations or queries on the users table to use as data source for a Generate CSV action.
That sounds like something is wrong with the structure though, if you mean the same type of data is recorded/calculated in different columns.
No, I mean on a single table. For instance, if all the information is in one table but in different columns, is there a way to export, say, 5 columns out of the 11, as shown in the picture? Is it possible to export it as a CSV file, unlike the current setup in Glide where I can only download a CSV file for an entire row?
It sounds like you might be confusing what a row is and what a column is. Your screenshot shows 11 rows.
If you only want to export a certain number of rows you should follow Megan’s original advice and setup a query or relation and use that as the source of the generate CSV.

Also, important to note that if you’re employing row owners on your users table, this could be why you’re only getting one row when exporting/generating csv.
