I'm running 3.5 r2. I'm modifying an existing program, which has file output commands to an excel spreadsheet. All the dimensions are profiles, but I need to output a distance dimenision. Can it be done?

MrComment is right, we won't know for sure until we see an example.
But, if they are outputting with File/IO commands, there's a good chance they are using variables to do so. An example of this (pseudo-code) would be
File/Write, PROF1.M
where PROF1.M is the profile from the dimension command. So, in theory, you would need only to change the object being report, to something like this -
File/Write, DIST1.M
Disclaimers: I do not have PC-DMIS running right now, so I can't check the syntax, that is why I said pseduo-code. It could be DIST1.Meas or some other extension, and of course the base name depends on your program program ID convention. Hopefully, you'll get the idea. In any case, if you post some (or all) of your program, we can be sure to provide a better answer.
