The variable time steps dialog is accessible from the Export to Excel dialog when the Time Step Mode is set to Variable.

The dialog is organized into two sections:

• Toolbar
  • New – adds a new row to the table.
  • Delete – deletes the selected row from the table.
    • The first row cannot be deleted.
    • If multiple rows are selected, the first row will be excluded from the delete operation.
• Table
  • The table contains the variable time step settings to use during export.
  • Time from Start
    • The time from start where the settings of the row will be applied.
    • Note that this is a >= so if you enter in a value of 12 hours, it will start at 12 hours not just above 12 hours.
  • Output Type
    • The output type defines how the data is entered for a row.
    • <All>
      • All time steps starting at the entered time from start will be included.
    • Constant
      • Enables editing for the Report Time Step.
      • Starting at the time from start for this row, time steps that are equal intervals for the report time step will be included during export.
      • Any time steps that are not an equal interval will be excluded.
    • <None>
      • All time steps starting at the time from start will be excluded.
  • At least one row must use either <All> or Constant so that time steps are included during export.
