I’m looking for a way to save this timestamp from the spreadsheet  
 ![image](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8a3b61a80aa369e2cc767aa352d8aef7fec06edc.png)  
I’m never able to save the whole spreadsheet, only individual cells, and the save spreadsheet option only includes file formats I can’t use. Is there any way to save the spreadsheet as a csv possibly to extract the data easily?

File → SaveData should do the trick, but you can also use the small “Save Spreadsheet” button visible in your screenshot.

The save spreadsheet button seems to only export the view for me, not save the spreadsheet data. Is there a setting I need to change to be able to save it as a csv instead?
