CSV Export

CSV export lets users download the rendered PocketQuery result table as a .csv file.

Before you start

The CSV action is available only when it is enabled in the PocketQuery macro settings.

  1. Edit the PocketQuery macro you wish to enable the CSV export for.

  2. Open the Results settings.

  3. Enable the option that shows the result toolbar:

Download CSV from macro results

After the setting is enabled, a download action is shown in the query result area:

Query results can only be downloaded when they are displayed in table format.

What is included in the CSV file

  • The exported file is based on the table shown in the macro result.

  • Column headers and visible rows are included.

  • CSV escaping follows RFC 4180 rules (quotes, commas, and line breaks are escaped correctly).

  • UTF-8 BOM is included so spreadsheet tools like Excel open special characters correctly.

Notes

  • If the download action is not visible, check that result actions are enabled in macro settings.

  • CSV export is designed for table-shaped results. If your output is heavily custom-rendered, validate the exported file structure before sharing it.
