  13. If the number of data points is not consistent, check the settings for Number of days and Time interval and change these so that the expected number of data points corresponds to the number of data points found in the file.
  14. If the consumption data in the file is not in the first column or if there is data in the other columns, open a spreadsheet program (e.g., Excel), copy the consumption data series, insert it into a new document in the first column, save as a CSV file and then repeat the import procedure.
