    <p>Farhan,</p>
    <p>  I would recommend that you save your Excel file as either a tab
      delimited or comma delimited text file and then read the resulting
      file into your Trnsys simulation using Type9. With this method you
      would not need any equations. The Type9 data reader would read a
      line of the data file each timestep and provide those values as
      outputs.</p>
    <p>kind regards,</p>

        <div>Hey, I want to introduce an excel file in my TRNSYS model,
          We have to put input to the Excel component of TRNSY that is
          time function (simulation time) from an equation. If
          simulation time is the whole year (Like hour 1 to 8760) then
          we have to introduce just "Time" in equation variable tab, </div>
        <div>My question is if simulation time is in between year(like
          2880 to 6552 hour) then what should be the command for the
          specific time?</div>
