Dear all, 

I tried to insert my weatherdata files but when inserting I get either the error:
"text file specification field seperator matches decimal seperator or delimiter" or (after changing my region and language setting)
 "query input must contain at least one table or query" - which probably has to do with not finding the list separator.
I thought that the problem was in my files initially, but I also tried doing the EXAMPLE 1 ArcSWAT tutorial and I get the same error. I think it is a setting problem but I cannot seem to resolve it.

How should I set my decimal symbol - digit grouping symbol - list seperator? If you think this is the problem?
I also tried replacing the list seperator in the example file to ";" separated in stead of comma separated.

My WGEN_user has a point as decimal symbol.
Same for my text rain/solar/rh/tmp/wind text files. Which are comma separated.
N.A. values are noted as -99.00

I added example of my text weatherinput files and my region and language settings.

Any help is appreciated! :)

Dear Timo

Were you able to figure this out because I am experiencing the same problem?

Kind regards

Not sure if this will help. But try reducing zeros after decimal point in elevation data. Your precip data seem to end at 7/31/2014. I should go up to the end of the year.

Did you find solution for this problem. We still facing it very often.

Hi,
Is your region and language settings set to English (United States)?
