A Comma Separated Value (CSV) file is a type of file that can exchange information between different software systems.

ForScore can generate CSV files from your match results.  The results are not formatted in any way. You can read them into Microsoft Excel® or similar software and format them as you choose.

To make a CSV file of your match, click on the Print / Internet menu, then select Export Match Results.

HINT:  If you find yourself using this frequently, the Export function could be a useful item to add to your custom toolbar.

 

 

 

 

Select options you want.  Then click Next to start the wizard, and Next after selecting the match

 

 

The CSV file has been given the name 2004-08-07.csv, because the match date was August 7, 2004.

It has been generated in a folder called Export.

On an XP machine, that will be beneath the folder in which you have ForScore installed (which will be C:\Program Files\ForScore by default.)

On Vista or Windows 7, the Export folder will be inside of C:\ForScoreFiles.

 

The file name and export locations cannot be changed.  You can, of course, use Windows to rename or move the file at this point.  (My text file editor of choice is TextPad.  Your button will probably say Notepad.)

 

 

If you have Microsoft Excel® installed on your computer, you can now use it to open the data file you exported:
