Appending datafiles together
A single dataset that is spread accross two or more datafiles can be appended together.
Important: Appending datafiles must match up exactly — same number of header rows and the same column definitions. Appending a datafile is simply a continuation of the data.
To append two datafiles together:
- Hover over the datafile you want to append new data to, click on the datafile menu icon and select "Append another datafile".
- Select the file you want to append to the existing datafile, either from a file from your Dropbox or from your computer. A append icon will appear beside your appended file.
Tip: An appended datafile cannot be set to real-time. It is a substitute for real-time data where static datafiles are often collected manually from continuous data platforms.
