To Create an XLS Evaluation Document

Use this procedure to export a space evaluation to an Excel spreadsheet.

One of the most frequently used formats for space evaluation documents is XLS, the native file format of Microsoft® Excel. It is a powerful spreadsheet file format with numerous calculation and formatting abilities. You can easily export data from Excel to formats like HTML, XML, CSV (comma-delimited), or DBF (dBase).

You can export text (results, modifier expressions, and labels) and images (bitmap previews of spaces and zones).

You can create your own XLT templates into which the evaluation is integrated.

1. Open the Scheduling tool palette, and select the Space Evaluation tool.
   Note: Alternatively, you can click Home tabInquiry panelSpace Evaluation.
2. Prepare the space evaluation.
3. In the Space Evaluation dialog box, click .

   If you did not select a default XLT template in the Evaluation Properties dialog box, you are prompted to select a template now.

4. Select a file directory, and enter a name for the XLS evaluation file.
5. Click Save.
6. When the export is finished, click Close.

The space evaluation file is saved to the specified directory. You can open it with Microsoft Excel or any other spreadsheet application that can read XLS.
