Hi Joo-Youp, Sorry, but I'm not an Excel user so I don't know much about importing data into Excel. I thought comma separated values (CSV) was a common way to import data into Excel. Maybe I misunderstand your question, but if you need to get rid of the commas, there are many utility programs that could do that. Maybe you need to use a very long line for each row, so that all the values for a single latitude are in one line? In that case, you can use the "-l linelength" option to ncdump to make sure the output lines are long enough to contain all the values for each latitude, such as $ ncdump -l 10000 -v precip precip.mon.ltm.nc I use Unix, and an example of how to also convert the commas to blanks could be done with the "sed" (stream editor) utility in Unix, for example: $ ncdump -l 10000 -v precip precip.mon.ltm.nc | sed 's/,/ /g' --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: SCT-388171 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
