How to avoid AttributeExploder to add unwanted 'values'

I'm using the AttributeExploder to prepare a two line table for an HTML report, the header as 'name' column and the value line has another.

 

How to avoid unwanted 'values' or hide them?

It adds those two:

fme_geometry fme_undefined

fme_type fme_no_geom

 

Or is there a way to filter out value before using in the HTML report transformer?

If you can't find a solution that makes the result clean you can just use a tester after the AttributeExploder that tests if the names are like 'fme_%' (without the quote marks), that should catch all of these.

Have you got the "Keep Geometry" parameter set to "No" for the AttributeExploder?

Thank you! that's a great trick!

If that can help someone in the future:filter fme_
