Hello all,  
I am using ignition 7.9.10 and trying to export a weeks worth of data from an easychart to excel. After some research, I found that there is an ‘exportExcel’ script that can be used, but in all honestly I’m not quite sure how to use it. Any ideas?

Thanks,  
Tony

The easy chart has a save button that does this for you. 🙂

It’s a good way but sheets names in exported file do not correspond to Pens Names.

Is it possible to put Pens Names in Sheets Names ?
