export of a table to Excel, CSV, JSON etc.

it would be a nice feature, if tables can be exported to Excel, CSV, JSON etc. (via a right-click / context-menu)

Also, export to markdown table or asciidoctor table could be nice.

Markdown export could be a nice first iteration of this issue since markdown export code already exists.

Definitely an area of interest for me too. I'd like to be able to results created through DV and either upload them into a SQL db or paste them in a .csv file for more familiar analysis tools

@cameronj86 can you describe your use case? With JS you should already be able to output a CSV and feed that into sqlite.

Ahhh, didn't know about that. My js is sketchy but I found an export-table-to-csv plugin so all's well that ends well

Does this export-table-to-csv work with tables generated from dataview?

It seems to be able to use dataview tables
