Help with L1MB lesson 8.5.3 Activity: Import Data into Volume Inputs Module; Import not working?

Hello —

I have been trying to import the data file Volume+Inputs into the REV02 Volume Inputs module with no success.

Just a couple of disclaimers:

  • I am in grid view when I try to import
  • I have refreshed both the lesson view and the example view
  • I have re-downloaded the file
  • I have updated the grid view for the time being so as to match the csv file
  • I set the Column headers to row 2, first data to row 3
  • Below are screenshots of my attempt

Below are the errors:

Please help as I am unsure what to do at this point!

Thank you!

  • Hi @jcarbo ,

    Appreciate sharing the screenshots. May I know what's your model calendar setting (current year should be FY20 with one past and one future year), and how the REV02 module's time dimension looking like (it should be set to 'Month') ?

  • Hi @AjayM -

    Thanks for the quick response! Here are the screenshots:

    Let me know if you need anything else!

  • Module dimensionality looks fine, but the model's calendar settings is way off.
    Please follow course instructions and set the calendar as recommended. The data files provided as part of the course, will not work/match if you do not follow certain basics like model's time calendar.

    Cheers!

  • Ah Ha! All better now. Thank you very much!
