Hi
Well you should not need any apdl, if you use workbench. Just define a path, and scope the results to that path and then finally export an excel file (see below).

Search the internet on how to define a path and to scope it to results (it is very easy once the path is defined)
So we do not need apdl (if you use apdl you have saved it in csv format, it is just that your excel needs to be configured, see the search link and the posts there that explain this).
All the best
Erik
