Description: In general, Export to Excel feature in SharePoint survey lists can export only the columns from "Overview.aspx" view. It can’t export columns like"Created", "Modified" or other columns from this list. We need to do the following steps in order to export the required/ missing fields that are being uploaded to the Excel sheet.

Summary of Steps:
