v24 Excel Clarity on what "Vertically" means

In Excel v24.0.1, you can see below how Raw Data looks with "Output Vertically" both checked and unchecked. To me, this is opposite. The first picture is more vertical in my mind. Is it possible to add additional language to Excel and to the Excel documentation explaining what is meant by vertical?

  • Hi Damon Vinciguerra

    I can see how that doesn't make sense if it's just one tag, but if you think of doing this for 1000 tags, those tags would be listed vertically and their information would be displayed in the corresponding rows. Think of it as the tags themselves are outputted vertically. When you do this using other functions it makes sense to output the data vertically if the tag list itself is also vertical because each tag will get its own row. Raw Data is the exception because a single tag will need multiple rows depending on how many Display Fields have been selected. I updated the documentation for these so that hopefully it is more clear. Thanks!

    • Steve Mason the updated docs are super helpful! Thanks. I know a lot of my users don't get around to the docs. It's me training them initially, sending the doc link, them ignoring it, and asking me questions.

      Would it be reasonable to update the Excel Add-In verbiage to say "Output Tags Vertically" instead of "Output Vertically"?
