Converting data from Excel to TMY2 was created by Paul Gilman
Could you provide me with an utility to change Excel files to tm2?

The best option for preparing weather data for use in SAM is the TMY3 Creator . It requires manually copying and pasting data from Excel or another spreadsheet program to SAM. It is also possible to automate the process by writing a script in SAM's scripting language (SamUL) with the CustomizeTMY3() function to convert data stored in a text file to file in the TMY3 format for use in SAM.

I am aware of a MATLAB program to convert weather data from .xls to .tm2. There are probably other weather data converters out there.

Best regards,
Paul.
