<p> Please, with the option Set gxout fwrite manages to extract data in binary (GrADS) and now would want to turn those data to a format for example to be visualized in a spreadsheet (Excel).</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

<div><br></div><div>If you are an experienced C programmer, another possibility is look for a C library that writes in Excel binary format and write a conversion utility. This can also be done in Python using PyGrADS and the python excel tools. However, I've never done it myself (I do not use excel).</div>
