Download COUNTER data as tabular data in addition to JSON
Alma does a good job in harvesting COUNTER data via SUSHI, and Alma Analytics is a good place for analysis. Sometimes, it is necessary to work with the data in a program such as Excel. Currently, we can only download the COUNTER reports that Alma harvests as a JSON file. It is a process to convert this file into a spreadsheet format (CSV, XLSX, TSV, etc.).
I suggest that Alma offer the option to download the COUNTER reports in tabular format, as a CSV or XLSX file.

JSON files for data reports is a nightmare, xlsx and csv formats are much eaisier

If we could have this data available in CSV it would make our lives so much easier!

i agree it is crazy as we cannot read a JSON file so i cannot use this system at all.

I completely agree and vote for a CSV file as a possible output.
