I suspected that might be the case, and I don’t blame you. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it 😃

Yes, this makes perfect sense.

Would a CSV export be good enough for your purposes?  
This is certainly possible - I did a short tutorial on this a while back…

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
