# Option to export label instead of code value ?

Asked by Rajkumar on 2016-11-24

Hi,
when we export collect data in .csv format, we only get code value (in code attribute data type). And we need to replace the code with its label when analyzing in excel environment. can we build a option that will allow us to export label instead of code value.It will be more handy if we can do this. Thank you for your every support.

Hi Rajkumar,  
In the last version of Collect (3.12.2) there is already the possibility to include for every Code Attribute an extra column in the CSV file with the label associated to the code value.  
You can add it to the CSV file opening the Additional Options in the bottom of the data export popup and selecting *Include code item label column*:
