[Bldg-sim] hourly reports in csv or text in eQUEST

Dear PC Thomas,

FYI...If you build your hourly report like you normally would (i.e. make an
hourly report block, assign desired variables to the block, assign the block
to an hourly report, etc.) then eQuest can very easily send all the data in
the report to a spreadsheet format by using the "File" --> "Export Hourly
Results" option within the main menu.  

This "Export Hourly Results" feature was a very nice upgrade that the eQuest
developers added in last year (I think) that really helps a lot since you
don't have to deal with importing text files into Excel anymore.  This
feature will even combine multiple hourly reports into a single spreadsheet
and properly label the variables so that you know what they are.  Before this
upgrade, hourly reports had no variable descriptions in the text file and
multiple reports simply appended to each other within the text file such that
it was difficult and tedious to figure out which data was what, move the data
to a spreadsheet, format, etc.  But, it could be done...Just very much easier
now.   Thanks eQuest developers!  :)

Hi All,

I'd like to get eQUEST to generate an HOURLY-REPORT output file in any format
that can be imported into a spreadsheet as columns of numbers.  Right now I
can get it to print in the output file as text with page breaks and headers,
but that's no good for me.  I'm sure there is a way, and I'm sure someone
knows how to do it!  So thank you for your response!

Best regards,
PC
