Hi everybody!  
**OS** (e.g. Win10): Windows 10  
**PsychoPy version** (e.g. 1.84.x): 2022.2.4  
**Standard Standalone? (y/n)** If not then what?: Standalone  
**What are you trying to achieve?:** My experiment stores the initiation times when a participant starts reading a sentence, using the voicekey code component. To save the data of this initiation time, I’ve added the code ‘thisExp.addData(‘vocal\_RT’, round(vpvk.event\_onset,3))’ in the “End Routine” tab of my voicekey code component. This works well and stores data in a .csv file along all other info. To facilitate data processing, **I wish to record these data in an excel file**. To do so, I’ve ticked the “Save excel file” box in the experiment properties.

**What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:** Unfortunately, the data is not appearing in the excel file. Would you have any insights as to make it work?  
Thanks in advance!
