fichier de calcul

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Software
Text is about CO2 reporting by a proposed power plant. This is mentioned so many times in various tables about methodology for reporting e.g. 'gaz naturel, gasoil & mazout de chauffage'. Could it simply be yet another term for a spreadsheet? Belgian text. Here are some examples:

Vérification de la plausibilité des mesures et introduction des données dans fichiers de calcul des quantités en stock

Transférer les résultats (quantités stockées) dans les fichiers de calculs des émissions C02 de l'année N (stock en fin de période)

La date et les données quantitatives sont introduites dans les fichiers de calcul des émissions C02 de l'année N

Après recoupement avec la facture, la date et les données quantitatives sont introduites dans les fichiers de calcul des émissions C02 de l'année N

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Certainly looks like it's just a spreadsheet from Google images I've looked at. Thanks, everyone. Calculation spreadsheet also an option if different types of spreadsheets are mentioned."

Spreadsheet

Yep, most likely to be a spreadsheet with macros that will calculate whatever results according to what values the user enter

(calculation) spreadsheet

I think it very likely that a spreadsheet is being referred to in this case.

You may wish to play safe and use "calculation spreadsheet", which produces some 16000 ghits, including "emission calculation spreadsheets": http://www.charmeck.org/Departments/LUESA/Air Quality/Permit...

calculation file(s)

If you are dealing with power plant documentation, it would be expected that the CO2 emissions (and not only) are calculated using means a bit more advanced than a spreadsheet. What I would imagine is a system where all data and parameters are pooled (manually or automatically) into a 'calculation file' which constitues the input for the calcualtion of various parameters re: functioning, monitoring and evaluatin the plant sand indeed, the CO2 aspect.

Hope this helps
