There is a bug in ERPLab's ERP Measurement Tool where the output file is, by default, saved in the .xls format, which is a spreadsheet file. However, EEGLAB no longer supports this format and can only save files in the .txt format. As a result, users must manually change the file extension to .txt while saving the file through the GUI to their desired location.There is a bug in ERPLab's ERP Measurement Tool where the output file is, by default, saved in the .xls format, which is a spreadsheet file.

8. ERP channel Operations
9. ERP measurement Tool
10. Type = Mean Amplitude, Bins and Channel = Default, Measurement Window = 300 500

Hello,

What version of ERPLAB are you using? Recent versions should have accounted for the change in what EEGLAB supports.
