# Problem exporting serialized data to CSV

 * When I export to CSV, the select data goes with metadata next to the selected
   alternative. Is it possible to fix it by removing the code? For example, in a
   select data I created, the meta key “associado_ibgc” results in “a:1:{i:0;s:4:”
   Não”;}” in the CSV, and I would just want to export the word “Não” in this field.

 * This value is really:
 * Array ( [0] => Não )
 * So you should be able to achieve what you want if you activate the option: Display
   serialized arrays as comma-separated lists of values

 * Thank you for the answer, but I needed this option in the export format in the
   Front End, because marking only in the simple export format (Export) the CSV 
   remains the same. And I didn’t find this option in the Front End format.

 * Currently this option is not available in the front-end export but rest assured
   that we will include it in the next update, if not in the next update, then in
   the one after that.

 * In new version 1.24.6.
