''It is important to understand'' that when you start MX interactively, or as a service, it reads the contents of '''dayfile.txt''' into an internal array (held in random access memory - RAM). Therefore, if you run '''CreateMissing.exe''' while ''CumulusMX.exe'' is running, any updates to the file are ''not'' seen by MX until that software is restarted. Release 3.20.0 (beta build 3199 onwards) adds a new "Utils" menu with a new option to refresh the internal values without restarting MX.
Instructions for downloading and running '''CreateMissing.exe''' can be found on [[Calculate_Missing_Values#CreateMissing.exe|another Wiki page]] and most of the information there is not repeated here.

It will create new lines if data for those missing lines can be derived from data already in [[Standard_log_files]]. If an individual line in '''dayfile.txt''' is shorter than the number of fields expected in the current MX release, then '''CreateMissing.exe''' will calculate daily values for the missing fields based on data already in [[Standard_log_files]].
