We would like to export our graph into a CSV file. I have a working apoc export in the Browser but would like this capability in Bloom.  
Embedding this working Cypher into bloom does not work. How can I fix this?

//Create a simple set of nodes in Browser:  
_merge (tierOne:TierOne{Name:"T1"})-[c1:contains]-\>(tierTwo:TierTwo{Name:"T2"})-[c2:contains]-\>(tierThree:TierThree{Name:"T3"})_

// in Bloom add this Cypher/Apoc command to export my graph into a csv file  
_with "match path = (tierOne:TierOne)-[c1:contains]-\>(tierTwo:TierTwo)-[c2:contains]-\>(tierThree:TierThree)_  
\*return \*  
_tierOne.Name as tierOneName, tierTwo.Name as tierTwoName, tierThree.Name as tierThreeName" as csvExportQuery_  
\*call apoc.export.csv.query(csvExportQuery, "result.csv", {}) \*  
_yield file, source, format, nodes, relationships, properties, time, rows, batchSize, batches, done, data_  
_return file, source, format, nodes, relationships, properties, time, rows, batchSize, batches, done, data_

@rlukas

Bloom does offer Export to CSV [Scenes and sharing data - Neo4j Bloom](https://neo4j.com/docs/bloom-user-guide/current/bloom-tutorial/export-data/). Has this been tried and is it not sufficient?

yes sir. I know about them. thanks!.. We are not really able to use that mechanism since we cannot modify the csv layout. Our other systems, sadly, require a special format. This is why, through the Browser, I was using the apoc export mechanism, which does not seem to be, well liked in Bloom.. Perhaps I can find Bloom log files that can lend some insights.. :) .. Thanks Dana! I should look in the log files to get a better insight of what is actually going on.. Thanks!
