Hi @anartapdigov-ux! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the superset team.
This is expected behavior in Superset 4.1.4 and recent versions: when exporting to Excel or CSV, Superset will send a ZIP file if there are multiple query results—this can happen due to things like server pagination, summary rows, or multi-table charts. The ZIP will contain one file per query result (for example, the main data and a row count or summary file). If only a single query result is produced, you'll get a plain .csv or .xlsx file instead. There is currently no configuration option to force a single file export when multiple results exist; the ZIP packaging is handled automatically by the backend and is not user-configurable. This is not considered a bug, but there are open discussions about making the export experience more intuitive for end users. If you want to avoid ZIP exports, try configuring your chart or export so that only a single query result is produced (for example, by disabling summary rows or server pagination)

Thank you. I turned off pagination, it was solved.
