1.Enclose headers and data in double quotes:
Update expressions in the table cells:

This option isn't correct; the headers are repeated on each row, and I don't want that.
I only want the headers to appear in the first row.Hi LolaVeci ,
Thanks again for providing the detailed information.To ensure that only the headers appear in the CSV export while hiding the data rows, follow these steps.
1.Modify the DataElementOutput property. Right-click each header textbox , open the Properties Pane, and set DataElementOutput = Output, ensuring the headers appear in the CSV.
2.Next, for the data fields, right-click each field , open the Properties Pane, and set DataElementOutput = NoOutput, which prevents data from being included in the CSV export.3.Additionally, to completely hide data rows, apply row visibility settings. Right-click the entire data row , select "Row Visibility," choose "Hide," and enter the expression =True, ensuring that the rows never appear .
4.Once these settings are applied, run the report in Report Builder, export it as a CSV .Please refer below screenshot.Based on my understanding, I have provided the expected output. If this solution meets your requirements, please consider accepting it as the solution.

Pallavi.Maybe I didn't explain myself well: I want a single header on the first line, with the detailed data below (I don't want the header to be repeated when exporting to CSV). I need it to display in Excel once exported to CSV, like this:Hi LolaVeci ,
