fORMATTING HEATING AND COOLING REPORT

Is there a way coz it comes out all jumbly and its a bit of a mess

jumbly and a mess...I'm sure the Reports design and dev team would love to hear that. Only things i can suggest would be to try viewing as PDF (there is a button on the toolbar for this) or possibly try opening it in a web browser such as Internet Explorer to see if it improves the output at all.

i could post the output. Its shockingly bad and not fit for issue. Plus the .bmp's go all squishy. I have to spend time cutting and pasting the data as there is no way i could send that jumble out.

I'll send you a private message to send me a sample (don't want it going public if it's as bad as you say heheh), hopefully there are ways you can get better reports from VE without so much manual effort

I've seen this - it's not when it pops up after the sim - it's when the results are opened again outside of IES.
The style sheet location is/was hardwired...
Good news is that you can just deal with the style - bad news is you need to know what you are doing

Pretty sure it's been dealt with in the latest update though. TEST: yeah it looks fine when you drop into Chrome.

Extra credit: If you want to get all fancy and write your own report format then all the data is there in the XML so you can parse that into MS Word and bypass the IES format completely.

Thanks for checking that in the new release and confirming it looks better. I have never played around with the stylesheet (have faith in the IES developers!) but in theory you could (or just copy paste the data you want into Word and create your own reports).
