Dear OxCal Team and users,
I calibrated a list of radiocarbon ages and would now like to export the probability distributions of all these samples in calBP to be able to plot them in a different program. 
I have set the date reporting to to calBP and the table reports the unmodelled (I also don't need anything modelled as there is not stratigraphic control on these samples) in calBP, but once I click on the little table/note sheet icon, the report for the individual sample is in BC, as well as the text in the yellow box below, from where I could copy the numbers.
Maybe you could help me?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Svenja

For that purpose you may be best to use the [File > Export] function from the table window.

Unlike the table views and plot the raw data in this form is always given in fractional astronomical years - see:

https://c14.arch.ox.ac.uk/oxcalhelp/hlp_analysis_calend.html

for more detail. You can convert this to bp by subtracting from 1950.5 (for the middle of AD1950).

Best wishes

Christopher
