In excel export also add applied filter settings

[alexanderkoek]

Currently only the data is exported, but often the question is posed what settings were active when the report was generated. I would prefer to have an additional tab where metadata of the export is added: when was it generated and what filter settings were active.

I deal with this constantly.

We export data, send it to the client, and within 5 seconds the question comes back: "but what period is this from? Which city? Which state?" Every single time.

What if instead of a separate tab, the first row of the Excel file carried the export metadata?

Something like
"Exported on 07/07/2026 | Filters: Period Jan-Jun 2026, City São Paulo, State SP". Simple and visible — no one has to go looking for another tab.

+1 for the idea, regardless of the approach.
