Reading UDReport.txt files

[Cartwrig]

I pulled a UDReport.txt file from ISY994i, and into Excel, allowing macros to activate in Excel, and the resulting spreadsheet had over 65,000 entries.   Such that it max'd out Excel's allowed # of rows.

 

Because of this, I can only read the log up through 11-07-2014, and today is 11-13-2014 (when I had this issue).

 

I then opened the file in Notepad and hand deleted about half the lines of info, leaving the first several lines, and then everything dated 11-06-2014 thru today.

 

But, now as I go to open it in Excel, it's not properly finding a "delimiter" to separate fields.  Does anyone know how wide the fields are supposed to be, for me to manually set a "Fixed Width" ...or what the delimiter is to use to get clean cells in Excel?

 

Thanks much,

- Rob

You may have run out of memory or be using an older version of Excel. I have over 85,000 rows and am able to open the file without an issue. Did you get an Excel error message?

 

You always have the option of clearing your log file via the ISY but of course you'll lose your previous data. Not sure what the delimiter being used is.

Thanks again,
