Time Shifting

Post by Suleiman »

Hi All,

I am building a model that reads daily temperature data from an excel file containing calendar day, Julian day and temperature in columns A, B and C respectively. The model start day is considered a farm management variable (i.e., the day fish are stocked), thus influencing the start and behaviour of the system. Can you please suggest how my model can be formulated to account for this (i.e., to dynamically shift the excel data to align with a user-defined stocking day)?

I have considered the 'GET TIME VALUE' and 'TIME SHIFT' functions but they appear not to be appropriate for the problem.

Thanks!

Will GET DATA AT TIME work for what you need?

If you move your INITIAL TIME, you wouldn't have to move your data?
