Handling autogenerated columns such as .Count

When transferring data from one environment to another via Datalink - table to table, the autogenerated columns (ex: ".Count") are also transferred. 
This generates an error that can't be eliminated as it would not be displayed in the Import step in the columns section. Also, there is no option to select which columns to be transferred. 

The alternative for the above situation would be to transfer the data from one environment to another also via Datalink but report to table. This would not be a viable option for us, as usually in the reports we display fewer columns according to the specific needs.

Is there an option to transfer data via Datalink - table to table and also be able to pick which columns to transfer including the autogenerated ones?
