Hi,  
When I try to export my saved search to CSV (from a dashboard), I do not get the desired timestamp format. In my CSV the timestamp is an array from two the same timestamps:

While in the saved search it looks normal:

When I export the same saved search via the discover tab it does give me the desired result:

Is it possible to get the same export as I get from the discover tab from the saved search on the dashboard?

I'm afraid this is not possible at the moment. I've created an issue for us to fix this in one of the upcoming releases, so you can follow progress in that issue:
