There is a small, but very annoying bug in the "Export Data" feature of the GridBoss.  From https://monitor.eg4electronics.com/WManage/web/analyze/midboxData, if you click the "Export data" button, the file that is produced has the extension of ".xls" which is incorrect.  The generated file is a more modern ".xlsx" file -- as this is not named properly many applications (google sheets, ChatGPT, etc) won't properly parse the file.   Until this bug is fixed, users can simply rename the file from ".xls" to ".xlsx".   Please fix the bug.

Hmm.  Actually, this is worse than originally stated.   I'm not sure what is wrong with the downloaded file, but here are the steps you can follow to make it usable.

1. Export the data to a local file (ie 5094555 - 2025-05-20.xls)

2. Rename the file to have a .xlsx extension (ie 5094555 - 2025-05-20.xlsx)

3. Import the file into Google Sheets

4. Export the file to CVS or other for further analysis.
