Hi @pdlv 
Unfortunately no, when you are exporting graphs all the data of the query is there.
You can add the table/matrix visual with needed columns only for exporting and allow the user to switch between them with the bookmark before exporting.
Something like :

Thanks for your reply, but my problem is when it have no data and I export, it contain the redundant column

Export like this

Hi @pdlv 

As I mentioned, this is how it works with graphs.

If you export the table you'll get only the columns visible at the table...with or without values.

Can u try my situation? Please, add Constant Line with value is the column then filter to make chart empty, then export

Hi @pdlv 

There is No constant line in the table: This feature is specifically designed for graphs for comparison purposes.

Data that is exported to Excel is in table form: There is no connection to the filter status. What is displayed in the visualization at the column level is what will be exported to Excel.

This is why I created 2 visualizations: For examining data relationships, there is a graph with a constant line.

For a data table that is supposed to be exported to Excel, there is no constant line. We have no option to manipulate what is exported to Excel other than choosing "export current layout " of table.

The export graph displays all columns participating in the graph, including the constant line if it is a part of the graph, no matter what acrobatics we perform.
This is not a filters and values issue, it is a function of which fields you put on the visual.
PS
It is unclear why one would want to export an empty table to Excel....
