Re: Failed to connect to Excel to get data from __.xlsx
Unfortunately, the problem persists. Can you please tell me where to send the model? We'd be happy for you to take a look. We will send both the Vensim model and the Excel spreadsheet.

Re: Failed to connect to Excel to get data from __.xlsx
There were some typos in the '?{filename}' settings, but I have corrected those. One previous error type was a space between the ? and the filename, but those errors are now corrected. There were also quite a few ? aliases, since different people have worked on the model over the past few years. Now...

Please revise timezones
I just updated my timezone to 'America/Edmonton'. Edmonton is in Canada. I assume Ventana means 'Americas', since 'America' is a synonym (here at least) to the USA? Canadians are a bit sensitive to questions of nationality, as perhaps other nations might be. E.g. 'Germany/Paris', 'France/London', 'S...

Re: Problems with Sample Yeast Culturing Model?
My apologies for the delay in responding -- I had not checked for responses since posting my question. I followed tomfid's suggestions, and it seems the model was always quite sensitive (I found a simulation file from 2011, and results were the same as the current results). Sorry for wasting your ti...

Problems with Sample Yeast Culturing Model?
I am using a sample Vensim model of yeast growth and decline in my graduate course on systems modelling. The model used to work quite well, but without any changes to the model except for an update to Vensim PLE version 6.1, the behaviour now seems very sensitive to small changes in the temperature....

Academic Reference for "Allocate by Priority"?
The Vensim webpage has a description of the Allocation By Priority function at http://www.vensim.com/allocp.html. I am wondering if there is also an academic reference (paper or report, of some sort) to William Wood's allocation algorithm? I have used the Vensim algorithm in a research project, and ...

Significant Digits in Graph
I want to include a histogram in a report I am writing, but the graph shows 6 significant digits, which is excessive. How can I change the histogram to show 3 sig. digits?
