There's a Table1 there already with 59 days of sample data. Delete those rows and paste your own from your CSVs. The table expects "Date , Time , kWh". Just those 3 columns of data. The rest are calculated.<br /><br /><img src='https://res.cloudinary.com/soonwai/image/upload/v1757520358/TNB%20Usage%20CSV%20Data.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br />The TNB csv is "Datetime , Peak_kWh , OffPeak_kWh , Total_kWh" (if already on ToU) or "Datetime , kWh , Total_kWh" (if on non-ToU)<br /><br /><img src='https://res.cloudinary.com/soonwai/image/upload/v1757520513/TNB%20Usage%20CSV%20Data%20Massaged.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br />Open the csv and split the Datetime to "Date , Time" manually or use Excel's Data -> Text-to-Columns and keep just the last Total_kWh.<br /><br />After that can paste into that Table1 on the Table sheet.<br /><br />*Can also use Excel's Power Query to import the csv. I just found out about this so haven't tried yet. This will be good if you have downloaded a folder full of CSVs from TNB. Excel Mac cannot import files from a folder without a VBA workaround. <img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='whistling.gif' /><br /><br /><b>Use Power Query to import usage.csv</b><br />So I tried Power Query to import from TNB's usage.csv. It works well. On the macOS, it can only import 1 file which is fine for daily incremental updates.

With this script and Namecheap, you can have a much cooler and shorter ddns domain. And also a backup in case /ip cloud is down which it does so occasionnaly.<br /><br />The script was originally taken from the Mikrotik wiki for another ddns provider and then modified for Namecheap.<br /><br />Email tool & Telegram bot needs to be setup beforehand. Just change the variables to yours. There's no error checking if the ddns update fails or sending email encounters an error.<br /><br />Schedule this script to run every few minutes as you please.
