Multiplying
The Multiply method appends the data points of a time series n-1 times to the time series and thus extends the time series to n times of itself. This is a special form of the general method of appending time series. The special feature of the Multiply method is the possibility of attaching a time series to itself several times.
The start time for appending the data points is derived from the length of the last time step (for equidistant time series identical with the general step size).
The following figure illustrates schematically the multiplication of a time series.
To multiply a time series, use the entries in the menu bar or in the context menu of the time series in the Project Explorer Methods → Change time axis → Multiply (see following figure) or the key combination <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Y>.
In the window that opens (see following figure), the time series to be edited can be selected using the Select time series button. A multiple selection is possible.
Enter under n-times how often the original time series should be contained in the result time series. The time series is appended n-1 times to itself. Leap years or changing holidays are not considered separately.
Select whether the respective existing time series should be overwritten with the multiplied one or whether a new time series should be created each time.
The Result Time Series in the following figure is the result of the threefold multiplication of the time series Heat demand.
