dongash Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi Martin, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am having a challenge uploading my last two (2) measured climate data files into PVSol. I have converted the files into .DAT format, as per the instructions but I keep getting "Conversion failed, Formatting error" message whenever I try to upload same into PVSol. I have attached the two (2) files for your kind review and support. Could you please convert them into .DAT file for me. I am using PVSOl Premium 2019 (R10) Thanks Dongash MLow Values.xlsx MHigh Values.xlsx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi Dongash, I guess it is line 3, as mentioned in our previous conversation, and the whitespace (space) right after the column name "Ta". Copy the values from your Excel sheet to a text file, remove the (invisible) tabs in line 3 and at the end of lines 1 and 2, remoe also the whitespace after Ta in line 4 (only the space, not the tab), then save as *.dat. That should work. This doesn't import. This works. Hope that helps, kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

developer_mh Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hello Nasr, there are values missing at the end of the file. You should provide 8760 rows with values, one row for each hour of the year. So, including the header, the last line number of the file should be 8764. Kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

developer_fw Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hi Nasr, 1. In this case it is https://notepad-plus-plus.org/, a free editor which can show "hidden characters" like SPACE, TAB, NEWLINE and so on. View > Show Symbol > ... 2. TAB is a special character https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_key#Tab_characters So in this case the \t is represented as string: and here as character: Best regards, Frederik Diamond_Tyres-hour_fixed.dat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beva991 Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hello, I have a question regarding importing data file. Does data file need to have only these 4 variables (temperature, GHI, humidity and wind) or there is a possibility to add DHI into climate file?
