Sorry no, we don't have any Excel support at all. That's a proprietary format and one we have no desire to reverse engineer.

But most spreadsheet software, including Numbers, can deal with "CSV" format files. What workflow are you hoping to achieve when you say "Statistical info"?

I would like to analyze the evolution of my air consumption. The values dive time, average depth and average air consumption would then be useful. Of course the more fields available in the csv the better.

I see. I'm not sure we will be able to do that any time soon. For the small number of fields you are needing (and it's really just 1 field - the rate), it might be better to just take them manually from DiveLogDT and type them into a spreadsheet. Also, for doing this, make sure you are looking at "RMV" values and not "SAC" values as RMV is adjusted for the tank size whereas "SAC" is not and therefore is not necessarily comparable from dive to dive. If you look at DiveLogDT -> Preferences -> Profile and then make sure that the checkbox "Calculate SAC (not RMV)" is NOT set, you'll have a somewhat comparable value.

We do get requests to graph various forms of SAC/RMV rates over time directly in the application and so this feature is still on the "to do" list. :|
You can also take a look at your SAC/RMV rate for a portion of a single dive by just selecting it on the Profile tab. Click and hold in the bottom axis and drag to the right to see stats for a portion of the dive.

Let us know if you have any further questions about this.
Thanks,
Janice
