How do you open a logfile (.rdf) downloaded from an EV3 brick?

Question

I have been logging data for a few sensors, and would like to import that data into Excel. What exactly do I need to do? I remember reading somewhere that LabView can export logging data (I have the Education version) but I cannot get LabView to open the datalog files.

I couldn't find much out there. Maybe these docs will help you more than they enlightened me: http://s3.amazonaws.com/scschoolfiles/379/data_logging.pdf — chicks, Mar 24 '17 at 00:58

In the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Education software:

Open a new experiment.
Go to the Tools menu and select Data Log File Manager.
Browse to the the .rdf file and click the Import button. (It can be on the brick or on your computer.)
Close the Data Log File Manager
On the Tools menu, select Export Datasets
Save the file as a .csv file
Open the .csv file in Excel
