csv output difference between 2017 and 2021

This isn't a pressing issue, but we have statistical software that was programmed to accept 2017 csv output. If anyone has seen the output it isn't pretty, very hard to read.

There was mention of updating to 2021 or greater soon and in our 2021 csv output, I was told it looks different enough where we would will have to re-map the outputs to the statistical software.

Was I told correctly that the output is different? I'm not impressed with how jumbled the csv output is, hard to read in my opinion.

Thanks.

  • I'm interested in knowing what are the changes in 2021 version. I also use .csv export (2018 R2) to import data into a metrology Software and would be happy to know if i have to modify the import tool in case we decide to update version !
    Maybe someone using 2021 version could upload a little example of .csv export with some different kind of data ? and eventually a shot of the export window.

    Anyway if it is minor changes you can just code a little VBA script that reshape your data correctly and overrite the file (having done this on another machine, VBA and csv format is nightmare !), but yes this would be one more handling to do.
