Do you have a copy of the un-converted database? That would be useful to test the conversion process against.

diary0512 is the database from before I copied over from Kronstad (running the beta-testing), but I am not sure if it was converted by the 4.3.0.
diary.db is from the previous version b4039.
diary.db.txt

I deleted the diary.db and manually entered the values again. Now the Table view looks fine, except it presents —-
when the values are 0 and 0. We had rain and no snow. It should be presented as 0.

When there has been no fresh snow and all snow has melted (the 0 and 0 values) the report displays the dashes.
Originally I had the zero value for the 24h snow with a valid snowDepth displayed as dashes as well. Those would be in the column and not centred. I thought that would be clearer. Apparently that view was not shared.

If the report would always show the zero's, the whole page would be full with meaningless numbers and it would be very hard to distinguish the meaningful numbers from the no snow days. Dashes are an intentional feature and won't be changed.

Rain is not counted/visible in this report.

Well, I disagree.
0 is not a meaningless number.
I intepret —- as nothing recorded.

But there are probably different opinions

Edit: when the LSD01 measure this: how do we know if it is 0 snow or the LDS01 did not measure? NULL should give dashes, 0 should be 0.

OK, I'll look at it again.
