Menu: Export | Spreadsheet table

 

Selected relevés can be exported to a non-ordered table. The format of the table can either plane Ascii (with tab or semi colon separated columns) or MS EXCEL.

You have the choice to extend the table with header data and with data from the ecological database.

 

 

Target directory: Specify the directory to store the export file. Click to select a directory from a list.

 

Output file: Enter the name of the export file.

 

Combine/Exclude layers: Specify whether you want to combine species that are divided over more than one vegetation layer and/or that you want to exclude species that are present in one or more layers.

 

Add species numbers: Do you want to add an extra column with species numbers?

 

Species data: By default cover abundance codes are exported. If available however, you may also select another species parameter. If cover abundance is selected then you may also decide to export cover values as percentage values or ordinal values (1 up to 9).  If sociability values are also stored in the database then you can export these values as well. Cover abundance values will be the be combined with sociability values, separated with a dot (e.eg 2a.3) .

 

Orientation header data: Choose Vertical if each relevé may contain only one character per column. The values will be written over several rows (thus vertically).
Choose Horizontal if the column width may be more than one character.

 

Cover: Choose the way the cover values must be presented, either by the original codes, in ordinals (1-9) or in percentage (0-100).

 

Select header data: Select one or more header data that have to be present at the top of the table.
Using Load and Save you can retrieve previous and save current selected header items.

 

Select ecological data: If available you can select one or more ecological parameters which will be added to the table as extra columns. See Linking an ecological database.
Using Load and Save you can retrieve current and save previous selected items.

 

Please note that relevés first need to be selected before they can be exported.
