Allow InfoWater to export simulation results in CSV format instead of DBF

The option to "Export simulation results for external application" in InfoWater would be more useful if the results were exported as CSV files instead of DBF files. We regularly need to compare the results from multiple model scenarios. Microsoft PowerBI or Excel PowerQuery are great tools for importing and comparing large amounts of data and could streamline this process significantly. However, neither support importing directly from DBF files.

    There are multiple Excel macros on the internet for converting DBF to CSV - they work well and can convert entire directories.

    We have been discussing a number of ways to make results openly accessible for reporting after simulations and this is a good simple option. Thanks for the suggestion and votes. We'll update once work is underway.
