Syntax
MonthlyValues(Month1, Value1, Month2, Value2,... MonthN, ValueN)
Note: The name of this function will correspond to the timestep. For example, if the timestep is a week, then the name of this function will be WeeklyValues; if timestep is a day, then DailyValues.
Description
Specify values for each month. If some months are not specified, their values will be calculated by interpolating the values before and after.
Example
MonthlyValues(Jan, 10, Feb, 15, Mar, 17, Apr, 20, May, 21, Jun, 22, ...)
Values are specified for each month.
MonthlyValues(Jan, 10, July, 40)
Values are specified for two months--the others are interpolated.
Jan = 10
Feb = 15
Mar = 20
Apr = 25
May = 30
Jun = 35
Jul = 40
Aug = 35
Sep = 30
Oct = 25
Nov = 20
Dec = 15
MonthlyValues(Jan, 8.3333)
The values do not change month to month, so only need to be specified for one month. (You could also just enter the constant 8.3333 without the MonthlyValues function.)
Jan = 8.3333
Feb = 8.3333
Mar = 8.3333
Apr = 8.3333
May = 8.3333
Jun = 8.3333
Jul = 8.3333
Aug = 8.3333
Sep = 8.3333
Oct = 8.3333
Nov = 8.3333
Dec = 8.3333
Tip: the WEAP Monthly Time-Series Wizard makes it easy to enter these values.
