[URGENT] MassHunter Qualitative Analysis (Qual) — Export GC–TCD integrations (as CSV)

Question

Can one export the integrations of the TCD (thermal conductivity detection) peaks in MassHunter Qualitative Analysis (preferably as CSV)? I can already work with the MSD peaks (EIC or TIC); I now only need a simple way to save the areas of all the peaks identified in a TCD (or any additional chromatogram, for what is worth) measurement in Qual. 
 If I could also receive information on how to customize these exported CSVs (so as to remove some unnecessary columns, for example), I would be highly appreciative.

Hello Giulio Neri , 
 The custom workflow options to Export all Chromatograms or Integration Results to CSV does not currently include non-MS signals. This issue has been logged but there is currently no timeline for when a resolution will be available. 
 For now, to get the Excel report output you would need to choose Generate Custom Report. Make certain your Reports are set to Use Microsoft Excel and set the Destination to save as an Excel file.

Hello Giulio Neri , 
 You can enable the Peak table for any signal type, right click, choose Export... and select CSV. 
 
 You can right click on a column header to change the columns displayed and click and drag to rearrange the columns. 
 If you use Excel reporting then you can choose to print a Custom/Analysis report and save the output as an Excel file, which could then be saved as a CSV. There is currently not a direct way to report to CSV. 
 There is help available for customizing the Excel templates within Excel on the MASSHUNTER REPORTING tab.

Hello Giulio Neri , 
 The Excel reporting option above will output all signals, both MS and non-MS. It is only the Export All to CSV options that don't include non-MS signals. The only drawback is that it will only produce Excel output, but these can be saved as CSV.
