    Hiya TBL, and apologies in advance with a pedancy warning, but, I note you missed the early Mch target, but smashed the late Mch target (I appreciate they are different years.)

    Taking the early target and dividing by 21, then multiplying by 10, I see you've split the target simply on a day basis (told you this was seriously pedantic), but Mch is a serious 'grower' month, I can see it's about twice your Feb target, so average expected gen rises rapidly through the month.

    Therefore, you've made it hard for the 21 day target to be reached, but easy for the 10 day target.

    You probably (and rightly) think I'm nuts, but just thought it worth saying as your spreadsheet is so pretty, and contains +/- results, so maybe worth considering.

    In my case, my Mch 'targets' start at 8kWh and end at 13kWh per day. They are logically fudged, but not necessarily correct.

    I shall shut up now.

    Mart.

    Cos it's you, I'll let you off on this occasion :D

    I've done it as the 21st March was my install date, so it's all done per the calendar, not gen ability. If I did that, then I'd only have 8 months in the year with 31/9 through to 1/3 as one month!!!

    Now there's a thought.....
