Viewing the Output File

When we created the Automator Tutorial project file, we configured an export to extract data from the ClassJan report and export it to the FirstQuarterSales2010 output file. Let’s see if the export was successful.

1.     Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Exports folder typically located in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Altair Monarch\Export.

2.     You will see that it now contains the FirstQuarterSales2010 spreadsheet. Let’s examine the spreadsheet to make sure that the ClassJan report data were successfully extracted and exported.

Double-click the FirstQuarterSales2010 spreadsheet to open it in MS Excel. The ClassJan report data was extracted and exported to a "JanuarySales" worksheet within the output file.

3.     Close the FirstQuarterSales2010 spreadsheet.
