Data Dump Into Excel for Graph

My problem is that when I do said export, the field names are not exported along with the information. With a large number of fields being exported it is very cumbersome to have to go through and title each column. Is there a setting that I am missing somewhere or is this more complicated than I think? Thanks.

Open your Online Help in filemaker and type or paste in:

file formats, About file formats

This will give all of the different formats and with a bried description. There are a couple of them that will provide the field names too.

Export using a file type of .Mer, which exports a header record. Then rename the file to have an extension of .CSV, and Excel will import it without a problem.
