Hello!

I need a tip on how to post a VAG-COM data log without losing the column alignment – it should be readable, after all.

"Thank you."
Klaus.

'...so, I rename the files to *.asc and then import the data into Excel. (In the options, you only need to change the decimal point to a comma).'

Then the data can be perfectly edited.

Unfortunately, Excel can only handle two y-axes. A better option is Origin Pro 7.5 from OriginLab. It can also handle multiple y-axes and is very easy to use.

Regards,

Knubbi.

Change decimal commas)

I do it like this:
-> create (and save) a blank Excel sheet (.xls).
-> In the log file, press Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C (to select all and copy).
-> In the empty .xls file, right-click and select "Paste Special -> Values".

No messing around with commas, periods, etc. icon_biggrin.gif
