SMART Data Platforms

[Ian Bradshaw]

Hi,

What do the +'s mean on some of the platforms in the SMART data?

Thanks!

Ian.

Can you give some examples? Are you sure this isn't in the offset
(seconds) column instead?

That doesn't quite look right to me - I've checked the source data that
came through and it does indeed have the "+" before some platform numbers.

It looks like it's a formatting issue in the data that's sent out to the
Open Data platform - all of the cells with a "+" have a different format
set ("+##0" in Excel) to the others, so they may have been edited recently.

I'll get a ticket logged to get this fixed in the next maintenance release.

Kind regards,
