### Exporting an Excel Report

To generate an Excel report of any stored Part and Lot number in the database, do the following:

1. Login to the database.

2. On the File tab, in the Report group, click Excel to open the Generate Report dialog box:

Generate Report dialog box

3. In the Transactions area, specify the Part and the Lot number or the Part and the Query.

The Lot box is replaced with Query box if you do not mark the check box for the lot number in the Options dialog box. For more information, see "Configuring DataGauge+ Options".

You can create and use trace field queries to tell the database to look at the search criteria provided and to return any information that falls within that criteria. For more information, see "About Trace Field Queries".

4. In the Variables area, mark the variables to create the different excel sheets depending on the selection of number of variables. If you uncheck all the variables then DataGauge+ creates a excel sheet with all the variables.

5. Choose Directory to have the file automatically named and generated in the specified directory. Use the Browse button to choose the directory. The filename is based off of the current system's date and time at the time of generation.

6. Choose File name, if you want to create a specific filename for the generated report. Use the Browse button to specify the location and filename.

7. Click OK to generate the report.
