Exporting report as CSV

[[Bl...]]

I'm sure it's very simple, but I can't seem to figure out how to export a report as CSV file. Is there anyone that knows that can help me?

If you are looking for help with CALYPSO exporting to CSV, unfortunately it isn't possible. The closest CALYPSO supports is the table files (which are tab delimited). That usually works in most circumstances, but I can't guarantee it will for you.

If the software is Zeiss Inspect, use this function: https://techguide.zeiss.com/en/zeiss-inspect-2026/article/cmd_internal_sys_export_gom_xml_by_report_pages_csv.html

PowerShell script to convert (Save as) an open excel file to CSV. (AI generated)

This should work at the end of your CMM program.

Create a batch file named "inspection_end.bat"

@echo off
REM Run PowerShell script from the same folder
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "%~dp0inspection_end.ps1"

exit /b

 

Create a ps1 file (PowerShell) named "inspection_end.ps1".

Use the code below.

param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    [string]$OutputCsvPath,

    [string]$WorksheetName
)

# Excel constants
$xlCSVUTF8 = 62        # CSV UTF-8 (Excel 2016+)
$xlWorksheet = -4167

try {
    # Attach to running Excel
    $excel = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::GetActiveObject("Excel.Application")

    if (-not $excel) {
        throw "Excel is not running."
    }

    $workbook = $excel.ActiveWorkbook
    if (-not $workbook) {
        throw "No active workbook."
    }

    # Select worksheet if specified
    if ($WorksheetName) {
        $sheet = $workbook.Worksheets.Item($WorksheetName)
        if ($sheet.Type -ne $xlWorksheet) {
            throw "Specified sheet is not a worksheet."
        }
        $sheet.Activate() | Out-Null
    }

    # Suppress prompts
    $excel.DisplayAlerts = $false

    # Save As CSV (active sheet only)
    $workbook.SaveAs($OutputCsvPath, $xlCSVUTF8)

    Write-Host "Saved as CSV:`n$OutputCsvPath"

} catch {
    Write-Error $_.Exception.Message
} finally {
    if ($excel) {
        $excel.DisplayAlerts = $true
    }

    # Release COM objects
    foreach ($obj in @($sheet, $workbook, $excel)) {
        if ($obj -and [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::IsComObject($obj)) {
            [void][System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::FinalReleaseComObject($obj)
        }
    }
    [GC]::Collect()
    [GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()
}

Both of these files should be in your CMM program folder (The program you are running).
