📬 Introducing new ways to share your data

Side note: We're live on Product Hunt today with our Slack Data Agent! 🎉

Export to Excel

You can now export to Excel (.xlsx) anywhere you could already export data. Charts, tables, markdown tables, and in-browser record views all get a native Excel option right alongside CSV, so the data you pull out of Basedash lands in a real spreadsheet—formatted columns and all—instead of a raw text file you have to clean up first.

Exports stream from the server and page through large result sets, so even big tables download reliably without choking the browser. If your team lives in spreadsheets, this is one fewer copy-paste step between a Basedash query and the workbook you actually share.

More control over embedded Basedash

If you embed the full Basedash app inside your own product, you can now tailor what your users see with two new URL params: hide_chat and hide_dashboards. Hide the chat experience, hide the dashboards section, or hide both to scope the embed down to exactly the surface you want to expose.

Basedash automatically lands embedded users on the first feature that’s still visible, and your choices carry through as users navigate inside the embed—so there are no dead ends or empty sidebar sections. It’s a simple way to ship a more focused, on-brand embedded experience without custom work.

Filter dropdowns now populate on shared dashboards

Filter dropdowns on publicly shared and embedded dashboards now load their options the way they do inside the app. Both SQL-backed and record-backed filter dropdowns return their choices, so viewers of a shared dashboard can actually pick a value and filter instead of staring at an empty menu.

We did this without loosening anything: Basedash only ever resolves dropdowns for the in-scope, visible variables on the dashboard or chart you’re viewing, and hidden, cross-dashboard, and cross-organization queries stay locked down.

Fixes and improvements

• Restored file-based Fivetran connectors (like S3 and SFTP) so they create and sync correctly again.

• Fixed chart images in insight emails and Slack so they render with the correct row-level-security context instead of showing the wrong data.

• Made Connection issues sidebar rows link straight to the data source page instead of opening the command menu.

• Restricted creating, updating, and force-syncing data source connections to organization admins.

• Fixed padding on the Basedash warehouse access settings section so it matches other data source access sections.
