All Time Records Correction

[equinox]

Hi Steve, I have noticed a rogue entry going back several months (28th April) in the All Time Records. I have removed the rainfall from the dayfile but am not sure how to remove it from other relevant ones so that the All Time Records show the correct extreme. Can you please provide the steps requred to tidy this? Apologies if this is on the website or in the help menu somewhere but I have not been able to find it. Many thanks for your time, I will make a donation to compensate for the frustration of having to detail an answer that no doubt is somewhere already.
Regards, Eddie

Use the all-time record editor (on the edit menu). You can either get Cumulus to try to fetch the corrected values now that you've corrected dayfile.txt, or you can look at alltimelog.txt (the format is in the wiki) and find the previous records and edit them back in manually (with the editor).

Thanks for the quick reply Steve. I had tried this in part. I was hoping ot do it with the 'fetch log data' function rather than manually so that the figures wouldn't reappear at a future date. So I took out the high entries from the alltimelog file as outlined in the image attached. I ran the fetch log data function, and the dayfile one, but there was no change. I assume that the figures have to be removed from somewhere else as well? It would be nice if I could get things sorted so that running either of these wouldn't reload those figures.
Thanks again for your reply.
Regards, Eddie

Editing alltimelog.txt doesn't do anything, it's simply a log of changes for reference. The functions in the editor to fetch the data rely on you having corrected the log files (the monthly log files and/or dayfile.txt). If there was no change when you got it to fetch the data from dayfile.txt, then you must not have corrected the entry in dayfile.txt. Are you sure the value fetched was exactly the same as the current value and not an earlier (possibly incorrect) value? If the value is no longer in dayfile.txt, then it's simply not possible for the 'fetch' function to retrieve it.

You say you tried both of the 'fetch' functions - did neither of them retrieve the correct value? Did you actually apply the retrieved value?

Ah, I had done most of that but what I failed to do was to stretch out the editor box to see the imported values and copy them across. It is all fixed now.
Thanks for your prompt responses and I will make that donation now as promised.
