Is it possible, or could it be possible in future versions of Betangel, to be able to export a Watchlist into a csv file or Excel? Like its possible with Guardian.

The watchlist is a subset of Guardian, so if you export the watch list you are, in effect, exporting Guardian.

I would like to have a watchlist in excel so I can do some calculations. Not on separate sheets but in a watchlist on the same sheet in a summary just with the name price and volume in Betfair order so I can see any outliers with more volume and higher price than runners with lower price and lower volume.

If you connect BA to the multi-sheet spreadsheet you can have a summary page with all the information you need. You just enter formula that points to or calculates the data you want from the market sheets.

It would be easier if there was just one button to press to get that. But its a bit more complicated than that I expect. Which formulas do I use to point the data to a sheet? Especially when each race has different number of runners. I am sum what still learning the advanced usage of Excel. Is there any way you could explain further please?

To place the name of a market or start time in the summary sheet you just use the formula: ='<sheet name>'!<cell reference>

For example: ='Bet Angel 1'!F7

You can do the same for profit/losses/prices. On the sheet in the illustration I use VBA code to populate some of the cells. You also have the time in-play on each spreadsheet so you can use a formula to display the number of minutes or even just display the in-play time.

Yes but then I would have to have 40 rows for each race to allow for races with larger fields. Or do it manually everytime I set it up so it would take too much time. Do you see what I mean? At the moment its just easier to look through the watch list and pick out a few then do the calc.

Yes, that would probably be self-defeating. Perhaps export Guardian as Peter says, I didn't even know you could do that.
