I am assuming you are talking about EnergyPlus. For most tariffs, all the calculations occur after the end of the simulation. Essentially, steps involving 12 months of values are performed to do the tariff calculations. At the bottom of the Tariff Report, where it says "Computation Automatic," is a step-by-step procedure of what happens when the tariff is being calculated. You can usually reference the various rows of the tables above to see the results of each step.

The EngineeringRef includes more details on tariff calculation steps.

I said "for most tariffs" since this does not apply to the real-time pricing portion. We have a request to include an output variable for this:

You are welcome to add a comment if you think it would be an important feature to add.

If I am misunderstanding your question and you just want these tables as CSV tables, you can always use OutputControl:Table:Style, CommaAndHTML;
