Mike,
This is exactly what I am looking for but maybe I’m, missing something as it is not working.
Here is my url:
http://www.prosperrotary.org/flags/missing-flags-test/?routex=1, I also tried using the shortlink: /flags/?p=1086&routex=1 but the url gets rewritten to the permalinked version above.
Here is my shortcode:
[cfdb-datatable form="2015 Flag Database" edit="true" orderby="Neighborhood,Route,Street,House #" show="Submitted,First Name,Last Name,Phone,Email,Neighborhood,House #,Street,Route,Method of Payment,Flag Lease Quantity,Were you a customer last year?,payment_status" filter="Route=$GET(routex)"]
If replace the filter with:
filter="Route=1"]
I get the expected list.
I updated my contact-form db to v2.9.14, contact-form-db-editor v1.4.1, but no change. Any ideas?
filter="Route=$_GET(routex)"

is this implemented with the cfdb-export-link function?
Like this?
[cfdb-export-link form=”form name” filter=”Route=$_GET(routex)”]
That will generate a link with the $_GET in it on the page where the shortcode is placed. But it doesn’t process any URL parameters from that page. When you click the link, it will process URL parameters. So it won’t work the way I think you mean it.

That was my experience. It processed the command with an undefined variable for the Route. Is this something that can be fixed to work like it does in the cfdb-database or just not possible?
Short answer: I created a fix. Would you test the development version of this plugin?
(uninstall the plugin, then install the .zip file from this link)
TL;DR
If you have a page url like
http://example.com/?p=1&routex=abc
and on that page you have the short code:
[cfdb-export-link form="form name" filter="Route=$_GET(routex)"]
Then viewing that page with the “routex=abc” in the URL should display “Export” with a link something like:
http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=cfdb-export&form=form+name&filter=Route%3abc
i.e. Route=abc
But actually shows
http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=cfdb-export&form=form+name&filter=Route%3D%24_GET%28routex%29
i.e. Route=$_GET(routex)
It shows this b/c the short code is just making the shortcode parameters into URL parameters. It should dereference $_GET (and $_POST, $_COOKIE)

I downloaded and activated v2.9.16RC1. Doesn’t seem to populate the value.
Here is my shortcode:
[cfdb-export-link form="Flag Database" orderby="Route,Neighborhood" show="Submitted,First Name,Last Name,Phone,Route" filter="Route=$_GET(status)"]
Here is the URL is used to call the shortcode:
http://www.pros.org/flags/export-test/?Route=8/
Here is the link that Export has:
http://www.prosperrotary.org/flags/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=cfdb-export&form=Flag+Database&orderby=Route%2CNeighborhood&show=Submitted%2CFirst+Name%2CLast+Name%2CPhone%2CRoute&filter=Route%3D
filter="Route=$_GET(status)"
means in the URL you would have to change to:
http://www.pros.org/flags/export-test/?status=8/
alternately change the filter:
filter="Route=$_GET(Route)"

Sorry Michael,
I used the wrong shortcode. When I fixed it it did work as expected! Thanks much
