Please implement (an option to have) dmx addresses always as three digit numbers such as 001, 010 and 100. This is really important when exporting the data for manipulation in spreadsheets. Currently it is a mess when sorting as the numbers will not align sequentially. Hopefully the spreadsheet grab shows the problem ordering 1, 15,151, 205 when the order should be 1, 15, 29, 43, 97 working down through the universe.

This!
The purpose of the Export Fixture Data is to export data rather than presentation material. As a result it doesn't really offer any formatting options. What we could consider is exporting the universe and channel into separate columns.
If you do further manipulation with the data in a spreadsheet application then splitting a column on a seprator is the bread and butter of what spreadsheet applications do though. If you are working in Numbers then TEXTBEFORE(;".") gives you the universe and TEXTAFTER(;".") gives you the channel.
TEXTBEFORE(;".")
TEXTAFTER(;".")
Thank you Lars.
The reporting abilities of Capture while good do not offer the range of options required. It is quite often easier / quicker / necessary to export data, manipulate and then reimport. Also for adding custom data etc like colour codes for fixtures as per my other post Capture just doesn't stand up. MVR / other data sharing options don't work for this, therefore it is necessary to offer a better data export option. The current choice of displaying / exporting dmx addresses in the shortest form is a very basic limitation, rather than downstream work arounds this needs to be tackled natively or the issue will always remain.
