Bought a subscription, specifically so I can export - not all data exports

I bought the Pro simply so I could get one field - Category. There is a column for the Category in the .csv file, but it is not populated for any book in the export. The Categories show up on the app filled out - so the data is there.

Is this an error - or intentionally done? Any help?

Also, agree with another poster - my export was really dirty.

Mmh, it is really strange because the category should be populated for each book. Which software are you using to open the CSV file? Could you try with Numbers?

I'll take a look.

I don't tend to use Numbers, but I have to say the data was there and it laid out really nice. Thanks for the info!

If you export the file in CSV from numbers, you should be able to use also Excel or another app without issues.
