Hello,
I am having an issue with (I think) how ODV is reading in my data. The .csv file reads into my collection fine and all variables are associated correctly, but, for instance, when I go to plot a profile with x being a measured variable (for instance temperature) and y being depth, it plots the data but with what appears to be the last point in the station being at the opposite end, so it appears to have a line drawn from the deepest depth to the shallowest (or I suppose it could be visa versa - it's hard to tell).

If I export the spreadsheet file and open it, indeed, the very last row of each station is the data that should be the first row of that station, yet the imported csv file does not have this problem. Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Many thanks,
Wendy

Hi Wendy,

Could you please post some parts of your import .csv file and export .txt file (including the header lines and some data lines) ?

It might be that your primary variable, which should be depth or pressure, does not hold values for certain samples which causes ODV to rearrange the samples' order.

Cheers, Stephan

Hi Stephan, Wendy and Julie,

I'm facing the same problem with ODV. For some reason ODV plots my shallowest sample of a station as sample number 27 instead of number 1 resulting in a station and/or scatter plot that looks more like a loop and not like a profile. Below an example of my input file. I also tried to post an image but I don't know how this is working. Hope there will be solution to this problem.
Cheers, Anna

Hi Anna,

Thanks to your example input file I was very easy to pinpoint the problem (as shown here
http://odv.awi.de/fileadmin/user_upload/odv/forum/images/faulty-sample-order.png).
ODV doesn't recognize the label "Bottom Depth [m]" as meta-variable and instead uses it as first collection variable which results in that strange re-sorting of samples.
All you need to do is renaming the column label "Bottom Depth [m]" to "Bot. Depth [m]" or "Bottom Depth [m]:METAVAR" in your file and import it again. Afterwards, the samples' order should be as expected (as shown in
http://odv.awi.de/fileadmin/user_upload/odv/forum/images/proper-sample-order.png).
For more on spreadsheet file column labels please take a look at ODV user's guide chapter 16.3.2 "Column Labels".

Cheers, Stephan
