You can do a table query over your currently available data. In section of select you parse column names you want to keep and order. The result will be a new temporary table. This can you cloneTo another global table for export.

Perhaps I haven't explain myself well. What I want is to clear a range of the excel sheet for importing the data of the dahsboards there. So, I need to clear a range before exporting the dashboards of FlexSim.
