Print/Export DataLog Analysis Reports

How Do I Print/Export an Analysis Report from DataLog?

Once the analysis report has been generated, you can print it or export it to Microsoft Word/Excel.

To print an analysis report, right click on any one of the column header bars and select "Print." Notice that, depending on the tab selected, some of the column header bars will show "Jump to Low Sale" or "Jump to High Sale." If this happens, simply select a different column header bar.

After selecting "Print", a screen will opens to show a preview of the printed report. If the report looks satisfactory, click File > Print.

If the report is not satisfactory (columns are too wide, cannot read the text, etc.), close out of the Print Preview, edit the report, and restart the print process.

Exporting a Report

There are several options for saving a report for future use. You can export it to Microsoft Excel, as a Text file, or as an HTML file. If you save to Excel or a text file, none of the graphs/images will be exported - only the HTML file will save the graphs/images.

Exporting to Microsoft Excel

To export the report to Microsoft Excel, right click on the column header bar and select Export > Excel.

A "Save As" screen will open. Choose the location where the file will be saved, name the file, and then click "Save."

To view the newly created file, run Microsoft Excel and open the file. The worksheet can be edited.

Exporting to an HTML file

To export the report to an HTML file, right click on the column header bar and select Export > Html.

A "Save As" screen will open. Choose the location where the file will be saved, name the HTML file, and then click "Save."

To view the newly created file, retrieve the file and open it. It will open in an Internet Explorer window.

If you saved the report with the graphs, a folder should have been created in the same location as the HTML file and should be called "File name.Images." Within this folder are individual BMP files of the graphs.

Exporting to a Text file

To export the report as a Text file, right click on the column header bar and select Export > Text.

A "Save As" screen will open. Choose the location where the file will be saved, name the text file, and then click "Save."

To view the newly created text file, retrieve the file and open it.

The file will open with Notepad and will look something like the image seen below. This is a report of the first tab "Summary" with the graphs.
