To upload a usage data file as a comma separated values (CSVs) file, select the option CSV Upload for the 'Edit Usage By' dropdown.

For CSV Upload, the data format is critical for the functionality to work.  Please review the instructions and example data provided on the page to ensure your data is formatted correctly.  For the Beta release, Sighten only supports the common format provided by UtilityAPI.  Here are the current instructions:

1. The following column headers are required: interval_start, interval_end and interval_kWh. Additional columns will be ignored.
2. Ensure all information is complete. There should not be rows or cells missing within the data. Otherwise, Sighten will extrapolate the missing data.
