The data is in two formats.  I have standard EPD data, and also a database.  You
could attach to the database with an ODBC connection and peruse to your hearts
content, or simply import the EPD into a spreadsheet and use the semicolon as a
separator on import.  I am not sure how helpful that would be, unless you are
already fluent with EPD and PGN.  I suggest, rather, that tools like EPD2DIAG,
Chess Assistant, and Bookup will be better to examine the data with.

What will you use the spreadsheet for?
