Download a month's worth of half-hourly usage data via the existing CSV download link on the online account

It will be useful to have the ovo csv file to compare to the n3rgy data via the guylipman link provided 

Especially for the numerous ovo customers who currently haven't got great 30min consumption data from ovo.

I like the ease of this guylipman.com presentation, @Firedog, I should have said that it’s quite a few years now since I finished work and stopped using my (now ancient) laptop. My current device has no Excel…but I might just dust off the old laptop one of these days!

Actually, have just spotted iSpreadsheet, which apparently is free…

Whenever I’ve compared the 3DP OVO data (retrieved via the API) with the ones I get from n3rgy, they’ve been identical. They come from the same place, after all, so there’s no reason why they should be different. I’ve tacked on OVO’s figures to the last column of the table above:

Yep. I know you are OK @Firedog 

Always look on the Bright site … 😊

You should be able to use Excel in the browser. Have a go: OVO-PM-Nov.xlsx. 

If you manage to open this workbook, you’ll find it populated with my data. Just paste your own on top of mine to see what happens. 

That’s very kind of you @Firedog, many thanks, I’ll give that a whirl…and actually earlier today I’ve been looking at the Apple version of MS Office (iWorks), which is freely available when you’ve bought an iPad or iPhone.  Their iWorks spreadsheet equivalent of Excel, called Numbers (comprehensively enough!!) seems interesting and I’ll be having a go playing with that over the next week or so.

But in the meantime I’ll very gladly avail myself of your kind offer, thank you, and I’ll let you know how it goes! Give me a day or so to get my spreadsheet brain in gear, it’s been a long while!!

All the very best, cheers….

I have changed this idea to indicate that we can’t consider it for our roadmap any time soon. 

The reason is that the billing platform that OVO gets your half hourly usage data from only provides access (API endpoints to be precise) to this data in daily intervals. So for a monthly view that would be 31 requests for data per customer. Not a very scalable solution until that changes. 

Thanks for everyone’s votes and for the idea. One to watch...
