Issue/Introduction

We found that exporting the Range Descriptions does not work in Export to Excel (Data Only) and (CSV)
Only numbers get exported, and the regular Export to Excel works fine.

Resolution

This is working by design
 
* Export to Excel (regular) is meant to provide a quick way to capture limited results that are seen on the screen in Classic out to Excel with Range Descriptions based on the Classic 'view' configuration.
* However, the Export to Excel (Data Only) and CSV are just meant to provide data and more rows for data use; we are not exporting the Classic 'view' configuration of showing a range description.
 
The reason it could actually work in some views is that there it's actually a Lookup value and not a Range Description.
