macro or script to autorun PCD2Excel

Hello,

we use a script instead of the built-in pcdmis facilities to generate an excel report (it is doable).

I can't give you this script because there are too many company-specific adjustments in there and above all that the script has 1700 lines (very extensive, not for beginners)

long story, little gain:
it's not really any better than the normal excel report, you can just set a few captions and move the measured values in the excel file.
Lots of effort and maintenance time (which the boss probably won't give you), for little extra benefit.
Even if you create something like that, you're probably the only one who can maintain it and it's always your fault if it doesn't work.

I can therefore only advise you against it
on the other hand, learning a programming language doesn't make you dumber, even if it's just 'basic'.

(if you really want to do that
1.) look up how to create an excel file with basic, visual basic or a 'macro' and write data into a cell (excel helpfile mostly).
2.) look up how to extract pcDMIS data from a feature or dimmension, you can find everything for this in the pcDMIS help file
many examples of this online too)​

Oh wow I wasn't expecting this. Thank you for pointing me towards where I should start on learning a programming language as this will only help me grow.
