One option that requires using Python is to create custom tabular reports (monthly or annual) and read the XML file instead of looking directly as the ESO or CSV files. All the same output variables are available but they are aggregated by by month or year. To create the XML output format use:
OutputControl:Table:Style, XMLandHTML: !- Column Separator
Then you can use a Python script called epXML2CSV.py that reads the XML output from every file in a folder and creates a CSV file that can then be imported into a spreadsheet program like Excel. It reads only parts of the tabular report that you want based on list in a text files.
