[TRNSYS-users] Using Excel as Load Profile

[David BRADLEY]

Pei,
  You'll want to save your Excel file in *.csv (comma separated value) 
form and read it with type9. Type9 can read as many rows of data as you 
have. Parameter 2 is asking you for how many columns of data you have 
per row. I would recommend that you start with the Type9 example:

..\Trnsys17\Examples\Reading Data Files\DataReader.tpf.

It is often simpler to modify existing examples than it is to start from 
nothing.
Kind regards,
  david
