Good morning everyone:
I have a problem trying to load the data with weekly resolution in csv format, from read from file wizard, leaving the following error:
"There is not column named" precipitation "in file, column names listed in the $ columns directive in this file:" year, week, precipitation "
I appreciate your help.
Beatriz

Dear Beatriz,
Have you seen this section (below) of the WEAP help that provides an example of how to name your columns in your CSV file?
Column Descriptions
Use the optional $Columns directive to describe the contents and unit for each data column. The optional unit, if included, is in square brackets after the name. This is a very good way to document your data. In addition, you can then refer to columns by their name instead of their number in the ReadFromFile expression -- not only will this make for a clearer expression, but the reference will still be correct if you later add or remove columns in the file. Here is an example from a climate file named Climate.csv with 5 data columns (rainfall, min and max temperature, humidity and wind):
$Columns = Precipitation[mm], Min Temperature[C], Max Temperature[C], Relative Humidity[%], Wind Speed[m/s]
Here's how to refer to the Max Temperature column in the ReadFromFile expression: ReadFromFile(Climate.csv, "Max Temperature[C]") Note: you must enclose the column name in quotes. The unit is optional and can be omitted, e.g., ReadFromFile(Climate.csv, "Max Temperature")
Optionally, you may list the time columns first. Some examples:
