Partial export from MultiTerm to Excel

Question

Dear Community! 
 I&acute;ve read a lot about how to export MDB to an Excel file, but still...my task is very specific: 
 export all Spanish terms, all synonyms, if any, inside of the cell, separated either by a comma or by a vertical bar. 
 I would even prefer: 
 export all Spanish terms with their synonyms and English terms with their synonyms, two columns, Excel format. 
 I want no categories, no definitions, no indication wthether it is forbidden or not, no pictures. Ignore all the fields, just the terms. 
 Is is possible using Multiterm Converter? I&acute;ve tried different ways, but an error always appears.... 
 Very grateful in advance!

 Why is it weird? You are not looking at the definition of your termbase... you are looking at every available language supported by the Glossary Converter and every field (what was in your spreadsheet) since you started using it. 
 Maybe you need to click on "Reset" to start afresh, and/or check this box so you always see the fields that will be picked up when you drag and drop your termbase into the UI.

 MDB? Sounds old :-)

 If you mean the Glossary Converter then yes, it is.

 I wish you would show the full screenshot of the UI as it's hard to tell where you are... especially since you also don't use the English UI. Normally when you drag and drop a termbase into the UI you will be presented with a list of the headings in your Excel file, but I wouldn't expect it to look like the one you have shown here simply because you have duplicates. It still looks a little as though you are viewing the Fields. 
 Can you provide me with the steps you are following, one at a time... or even better share a video of what you're doing? Or send me the definition of your termbase, so I can look at the same data you're looking at?
