• Download Periodic Report app from the page and install the app.

• With a worksheet window activated, click the app icon to bring up the dialog.

  1. Choose Input columns for grouping, and date/time column for periodic calculation.

  2. Select how to merge the input columns, including 1st point, last point, mean, sd, mean and sd, min, max, sum, and count.

  3. Change a start and end date/time accordingly, leave them Auto if you want to cover all the data.
