Data only in CSV (or excel) format for direct download #542

Hi, I would like to ask where (if) I cannot find the source data shown on the drawdown homepage with all solutions in CVS (or spreadsheet) format. On the old drawdown website back in 2019 this was straight forward but on the new website I cant find any such links. I have looked through this Github site, but also here there doesn't seem to be an obvious straight forward way to (only) get hold of the data. I suspect it is a silly question as a search in Issues didn't show a similar question.

Hi @Mint-me123 -- The data was never made directly available for download in this project, AFAIK. The source data does exist in the repo, in the data files for each solution. There are no similar files for the result data --- you can of course get it by installing and executing the code, but that is not what you asked for. It does seem like a reasonable request though --- I will see about adding it. You can help me by telling me what specific data results you would be interested in (the models can produce a great many different calculations).

Well I was looking for a similar solution as offered on the 2019 website where the table on the webpage could also be downloaded in different formats like CSV, PDF etc.. It was an easy way to see each solution, with a sector, and the values for CO2 eqv, Cost and Savings for each solution.

Rank Solution Sector TOTAL ATMOSPHERIC CO2-EQ REDUCTION (GT) Net Cost (BILLIONS US $) Savings (BILLIONS US $)

But I understand this is possible if I use the Github project however I don't think I need all the bells and whistles. If the (lets call it webpage table data) does become available here Ill look at it then. Alternatively the table on the website could also be changed back and look as the 2019 version with both CO2, Cost and savings rather than only CO2 as it does now because you can easily import a HTML table into a spreadsheet. Thank you for your help.
