GPS Data Corruption in XLS Format for Longer Measurements

The .csv export should be a safe alternative. You should check which of the formats both, Google Spreadsheet and Excel, could deal with. In Germany, just semicolon and decimal comma work out-of-the-box in Excel. The dot is used as a decimal separator in Japan, isn't it. So, likely semicolon and decimal dot could be ok…

Hello,

Thank you for your helpful information.

I will check if students have saved their experiment data and try to reproduce the issue. I've spoken to 30 students, and 3 faced problems on their iOS devices. However, some could save 30-minute data without issues.

I'm looking into it, thinking it might be an iOS version issue. For the .xls file problems, reopening with iOS Numbers seemed to help. But any data corruption stops us from editing on Google Drive.

Thanks for the .csv advice. Using .zip on iPads is a bit tricky, but I'll give it a try.

I'll keep you updated. Thanks for your support.
