Concoradance tool export

There was an error rendering this rich post.

When I export Concordance tool results into .csv all i get is this:

Reference	Count
Bible	272

But no actuall results. Now, if this is what it means to export results, better call this "Does nothing.csv".

It is disappointing when you Export References (below) and only get the summary of Bible 49.

And the only Export option that worked was
Save as File
(Windows 11)

EDIT: The text after the first line is yet another forum glitch.

Yes, concordance is such a powerful tool, but so underdeveloped. And to see that the only way to show results is to expand book by book…not sure why results can't use the same engine as search tool has.

I am sorry if I am misunderstanding something here. I seem to get better results when I try exporting from Concordance.

Here is one example:

Open Concordance tool
Select English Standard Version:Word in Johannine Epistles
Under REFINE Headings, select options to Combine all word forms and Omit common stopwords.
Under REFINE Field choose the option for Surface Text.
Select Print/Export
Select Send to new document: Microsoft Excel

The resulting document is attached. I also get an identical document if I use the option for Save as File: Spreadsheet and select the file extension .csv. However, this platform does not permit me to upload a csv file to this thread.

No you don't. In the export you get results at the top level - the difference is that words are not really structured for concordance (as opposed to bible references), thus you get a longer list. The point is that to be fuctional, the export would need to include all levels of the results, not only the top level.

@NB.Mick I did have the distinct feeling that I was comparing apples to oranges. Thanks for providing context.

I have opened a ticket for this issue.

Thanks a lot!

I need to report back about this.

We don't consider this to be a bug. Concordance has always had only basic functionality for exporting. Changing this is not a matter of simply correcting a mistake in the underlying code, it involves writing additional code to make something possible that previously wasn't.

I encourage anyone who wants to see more robust export functionality to make a feature request that users can upvote. That is the best way forward.
