Ability to download and have additional filters in the References tab

I find that the References tab is very useful, but I need to be able to download to Excel so that I can do proper analysis. Additionally, I would appreciate the ability to have additional filters similar to what I have on the Items tab (ex: Distinct Values).

    Hi Alex,

    We have spoken with the developers and due to the volume of data filters and downloads will not be practicable.

    Sorry about that. No, I don't think distinct values would negate the need, but it would certainly be helpful to be able to gauge the magnitude of certain things.

    There are still cases in which I would like to download to Excel to perform some additional functionalities such as vlookup against SAP data perhaps, more complex pivot tables, etc.

    If it's easier to implement distinct values, I would certainly appreciate that as an interim solution.

    Hi Alex, the previous idea was closed as we didn't get any feedback from you, can you please advise:

    Hi Alex, this is a great idea. I was working in there last week and noticed this would make life easy. If you had distinct values would that negate the need to download?
