Excel Report User Defined fields

[[Ch...]]

Hello all,

I am bringing this subject to the general forum from a PiWeb thread, although I tried using a suggestion from that thread.

I want to add in several user defined fields header information to the Excel reports that are created in Calypso (not through PiWeb).

Using a suggestion on the other thread, I found the user defined fields I needed, and made changes to the Excel template and INI files.

Steps I took:

1. Made copies of original Characteristic .xlt and .xls files, and ReportINI .xls and .xlsx files for editing.

2. Added correct username fields to all 4 files for additional header info

3. Moved 4 original files to temporary folder

4. Placed 4 new modified files in excel_report folder, replacing the old ones. 

5. Selected the new template in the Define Report tab and then ran the program.

The new template with the new user defined field names shows up, but is empty of all data, including fields I didn't touch.

I was pretty sure this would work but something is not clicking. Any thoughts?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.
