New, but not New - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

Hello ladies and gentleman, I've been a user of ecomodder since 2012 or so. Three different vehicles and I've learned a lot from reading the forum though I don't post very much if at all through these years. EDIT: I see I've posted 72 times including this one!

The reason for this intro post is that I have a question that I couldn't really find an appropriate forum to post it.

Question: Is there a way to export all fill-ups for a vehicle to, say, CSV format for further data review using offline tools. I have searched and not really found anything. Help?

Thanks

What is a CSV File and How to Open the CSV File Format - freeCodeCamp.org
CSV stands for Comma Separated Values. A CSV file is a plain text file that stores tables and spreadsheet information. The contents are often a table of text, numbers, or dates. CSV files can be easily imported and exported using programs that store data in tables. CSV File Format. Usually the first line in a CSV file contains the table column ...

Sounds like a subset of tab-delimited text file.

'export all fill-ups for a vehicle to...' will depend on the source. What do you have? Some payment method may provide reports that can be scraped. In my case, using cash, printed reciepts that could be entered directly into a[n offline] tool wold be the only option.

OK .... where do I access 'export all fill-ups for a vehicle to ...'? I can't find that on this site. To be clear, I want to export all fill-ups logged ON Ecomodder to a CSV file that can be saved on my computer.

I was quoting you, but now I understand.

I suggest repeat the question in ecomodder.com/forum/forum-news-feedback. Linked for your convenience.

Probably not. However, you might be able to view them all, select the web page text and insert into a spreadsheet. You'll likely need to play with the formatting.

Just tried it and it does work, be sure to insert to the correct sized table of cells.

Thanks for that tip! I hadn't tried that. However, from your suggestion to just copy/paste from here to Excel I noticed a line at the very bottom of the fill-up log that I had not seen before:

View: spreadsheet friendly fuel log output (for copy/paste)

Perfect, as that view is ideal for the copy/paste you suggested. Works for me. Thanks!
