Mark, I record in inches so below is a sample of the file I've created. Would you prefer inches, millimetres or both? Date format okay?
date,rainfall,rainfall_mm
01/01/2023,0.55,13.97
02/01/2023,0.02,0.51
03/01/2023,0.35,8.89
04/01/2023,0.03,0.76

I've compared my December rainfall (149mm) to a station in Handforth (IWILMS14) which has a Davis VP2 and his is 145.8mm.
He bought his VP2 in early March 2022 ans his rainfall totals with a spoon mechanism is very close to mine.

Hi Mark,
Happy New Year to you.

Here's my rainfall data as requested. I added an extra column for rainfall in mm as I store it in inches.
Let me know if there's anything else you need. I hope it helps and is in the required format.

That's great, thanks Ray. I'll now work out how the best use this...
