Export Records to CSV

Exporting writes the generated records to a CSV file so you can take the data into a spreadsheet, a statistics package, or a script. The save dialog opens pre-filled with the study's name and a .csv extension, so naming your studies well pays off here.

The Export button sits at the bottom right of the study editor. It is enabled only after a generation has completed, and it is hidden on the three graphic ephemeris studies, which produce a plot rather than a table.

Export the Records to a CSV File​

To write the records to a file:

  1. Click the Export button at the bottom right of the study editor.
  2. Choose the folder and file name. See Save a File from the OS Save Dialog.

The Export button at the bottom right of a Geocentric Ephemeris Study editor, below the populated ephemeris table.

caution

Only the columns currently visible in the ephemeris table are exported. Hiding columns narrows the export, which is useful when you want a compact file, and surprising if you forgot you had hidden something. Check the table before you export. See Show or Hide Table Columns.
