      Is it possible to export a data table containing entered values in scientific notation such that the exported csv file shows values in decimal notation?

      For instance, if I have an entered value of 1e6 in a number column, I want the exported data to display 1000000.

      I understand there is an option to change the displayed value within DataGraph, but I cannot see that there is a way to export the displayed value instead of the entered value.

        You are correct. The default is to export the underlying numeric data exactly as it has been entered, and there is currently no way to export a number column using the display value.

        The only workaround we could come up with is to use a Text Expression column.  First, add a number column to the text expression.  Then click on the right side of the blue token.  This will give a list of formatting options, as shown below.

        Hopefully, this gives you a way to do it, though it might be tedious if you have a lot of columns.
