Exporting Data from FileMaker

02/07/2013
MS: 
Ask FileMaker: Help on Specify Field Order for Export 
The help page on Specify Field Order for Export Dialogue Box doesn't cover the Output file character set Option.

Ask FileMaker to improve the Export mechanism:
If I want to export the content of one Field for cleaning (delete dummy data, correct spelling mistakes etc.) for reimporting (or even if not for reimporting) it should only export the populated Records. 
Although the other Fields are populated, they should be ignored.

Export Field "Fax Number" and Field "Unique ID", where the former needs a cleanup and the latter is only there so that the cleaned data can be reimported correctly (to match the Record where it originally came from), then there should be a tick "Main Data" that one can tick next to the Fax Number Field - like there is when importing: "Match Records Based on this Field".

MS
I exported a data file containing two fields:
Record ID
Status
The Status file is 'connected' to a Value List with 22 values and is set to allow six repetitions.
Before the export is completed, a message appears:


However, the resulting Excel file opens up with all the values included, not just the first one
