I am trying to use PC-DMIS to export data to Excel so I can analyze it. I've created another Excel file to look at the saved Excel files exported by PC-DMIS (1 Excel file per part). I use the Power Query function in Excel to look at all Excel files in a specific folder and pull data from them. This works fine and I can pull all of the data that I need. The problem comes when I try to analyze it. If I try to do any type of Excel function on the data, the math doesn't calculate. Every function, even a simple SUM(A1:A10), will return a value of 0 for the collected data. It seems that Excel doesn't recognize the cell data as a number? The weird thing is I have some old Excel data from a job from a few years ago, and it worked fine for those. The only difference I see between the working and non-working Excel files output by PC-DMIS is that the old ones that worked output to a sheet named Sheet1 and the new non-working Excel files output to a sheet called PCDmisExcel1. The font is slightly bigger on the new ones, but on both files all of the cells are "General" format and the dimension cells are in the same locations on both files. I've tried changing it to a number with 4 decimal places and it doesn't do anything. Does anyone know why/how PC-DMIS has output it 2 different ways and how to change it from one way to the other???
