Export Angle to Microsoft Excel

To export an Angle to Microsoft Excel
  1. Click Add new datastore.

  2. Select Export Angle to Microsoft Excel.

  3. Click OK.

    The Create datastore window appears.

  4. Enter the Datastore name.

  5. Select the Save To location. This can be a local folder, AWS S3, a network drive, or SharePoint. Depending on your choice, you are presented with different settings:

  6. Click Test connection to test if the location is available.

  7. Insert model timestamp - Specify in which column the model timestamp should be inserted. Use '1' to select the first column, '2' to select the second column, and so forth. Select 'None' if no model timestamp column is required.

  8. Header format - Select a format for the column headers:

    • No header - When No header is selected, no column header is shown, only raw data.

    • Id - When Id is selected, the IDs of the fields will be used as column headers. This option is most useful when the output file is used for further automatic processing, like in databases or CSV.

    • Short name - When the Short name is selected, it is shown in the column header.

    • Long name - When the Long name is selected, it is shown in the column header.

  9. Set format - Select a format for the set elements:

    • Id - When Id is selected, the IDs of the set elements will be exported. This option is most useful when the output is used for further automatic processing, like in databases or CSV.

    • Display - When Display is selected, the set elements in the export will be formatted as defined in the Angle Display. This means, 'short', 'short (long)' or 'long' column names will be used. This option is most useful when the output is used for direct interpretation, like in Excel or HTML format.

  10. Max rows to export - When exporting data only the specified number of rows will be exported. If the result contains more rows, remaining rows will be skipped. Use value -1 to export all rows.

  11. File name - Name of the file to write the Angle data to. Macros can be used to include the angle name, display name and/or timestamp.

  12. Template file name - Name of the Excel template file. The specified template file will be used as a basis to export the data to. Templates can include basic formatting and coloring definitions.

  13. Sheet name - Select which Excel template to use for this export. If you select Use default, the template that is set as the default Excel template in this Display will be used. If that default Excel template is set to Use default, the Angles for SAP default template will be used. You can select a different Excel template from the list if you do not want to use the default. The specified template file will be used as a basis for the data export.

    Templates can include Process Automation Pack functions, basic formatting, coloring definitions, and macros.

    Macros can be used to include the Angle name, Display name, and/or timestamp. See How to work with macros for an overview of the available macros.
