your data file. This can be obtained from Software

simply click on the x to close it. The DSMEMBER.EXE file
will NOT harm your computer.
Now you can go into InterHerd, Batch data...Milk
recordings.

Exporting reports from InterHerd
Look for the location of your text file. You will need to
change the “All excel files” to “All files” first.
In InterHerd there are a variety of reports and grids
where you can sort the data, print off lists and work out
averages etc. However there may be the odd occasion
when you need to export a grid into Excel for example.
Open up the report you require eg Cows:Fertility
Summary in the Animal List Generator.
Right click anywhere along the blue header and select
Export to text file:
Select your saved text file and click open. You will now see
step one of a wizard to help you import your data.
Choose where to save the text file and give it a name:
Click Finish and the data will be aligned to columns. To
split out data eg calving date and days in milk, you can
highlight the column, then choose Data and “Text to
columns”.
This will open up another wizard. You need to select
“Delimited” then in the next screen, tick Other and place a
fullstop in the box. The programme then knows to split the
data when it reaches the first dot. So a calving date of
13/11/2010....720 then looks as below:
Now open the
spreadsheet
program eg Excel.
Click the Office
button to open a file:
