Convert STA to XLS

Can you convert STA to XLS?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert STA to XLS?
No - not a direct conversion.

The .sta is already a fixed-width table; the only 'conversion' is importing it into Excel as delimited/fixed-width text to chart increment behaviour. There's no information gain and the real results are in the binary .odb, not the status log. (DB lists software_count 1, but this is just a text import, not a meaningful format conversion.)
