This pages describes how to download your own data from the InfoEx for use in programs like Excel.
Background
To allow operations to make better use of the data they have entered into the InfoEx, we included an export functionality in the application. The report tables are downloaded as individual CSV (commas delimited) files that can be read by programs like Excel or Numbers. These files can be used for local archiving, research projects and case studies or end of season reports.
| NOTE |
It is only possible to download reports that only include data of your own operation. InfoEx data files that include multiple operations require permission from the each of the included subscribers and can only be must be requested from the Canadian Avalanche Association |
Step-by-step description

Select the desired date range for your report by clicking on the date range field above the tables. Once you have selected the desired date range, wait for the data to appear.
| NOTE |
If you have entered a lot of data into the InfoEx and you are querying the server for the entire season, you might not be able to download it all at once. If this happens, you can still download your information, but you will need to explicitly do it table by table. In other words, you will need to create individual reports with only weather observation, fiedl summaries, avalanche observations, ... and download them separately. See Specifying the tables to be included in an InfoEx report for more information on how to do this. |
