Time series data import with PLE
Posted: Thu Nov 28, 2019 10:41 pm
Hi community,
I am trying to import time series data into Vensim. Therefore, I tried to solve the example of the User’s Guide first. Unfortunately, I am not able to do this so far, although I tried to do it exactly the way it is explained in the manual. The biggest problem seems to be that I only have the PLE version and thus functions like GET XLS DATA aren’t supported.
Nonetheless, I managed to get the .dat file into the model and it is also displayed as a graph when I click on the variable and then on the graph function (screenshot 1). So, the following steps worked:
https://www.vensim.com/documentation/21160.htm
https://www.vensim.com/documentation/21165.htm
But still, I cannot run the simulation because an equation for the variable is missing (screenshot 2). To be more precise, the problem starts here https://www.vensim.com/documentation/21170.htm. I don’t know why but I don’t have the Set Up a Simulation button as well as I don’t have the toolbar… Consequently, I cannot define the variable and the dataset as I should.
You would really help me, if you could have a look at the problem and maybe give me an advice on how to import time series data with the PLE version.
In the attachment you’ll find some screenshots of the problem.
Thank you so much!
