Lightbulb Modifying CFD-Post macro to output a time-varying expression at every timestep

lynnathere is on a distinguished road
I am running a TBR case whose solution file contains multiple timesteps, similar to a conventional true transient simulation.

I want to output an expression that varies with time at every timestep. What I've attempted so far:
1) record a session where I load timestep=0, create a table ("Table 1"), in field A1 enter the current time ("Time"), in B1 enter the time-varying expression ("modalF" in the following text), save the table to a .csv file;
2) stop recording and modify the .cse file into a macro and impose a for loop on the timestep;
3) load the macro (pasted in the end of the thread).

This doesn't really work. The .csv file I got after running the macro has only one row with "Time" and "modalF" at the timstep=1 recorded at the first and second column.

I'm guessing my syntax on the table fields ("A$i" and "B$i") might be wrong, but I don't know what the correct syntax is or how to fix it.

Can somebody more experienced in CFD-Post macros please help? Thank you!!
