You can use this editor to correct individual values by overtyping.  The same editor will '''Create missing''' complete days, or import earlier observations into dayfile.txt, in both cases reading and calculating from [[Monthly_log_files]], and the procedure is explained in that Wiki topic in greater detail than is possible in the ''Help''.  If just some fields are missing from a particular row (meteorological day) on day file, then there is a [[Monthly_log_files#Using_Monthly_logs_to_deal_with_shorter_.28or_incomplete.29_dayfile.txt_records_for_particular_dates | workaround]] as at all current versions (up to 1.9.4) you can only import from the [[Monthly_log_files]] if the whole date (row) is missing in ''dayfile.txt''.

'''Note for version 1.9.3 only:''' System Date Formats like month/day/year, or those using dd-mm-yyyy, just might in some cases be affected by a bug in 1.9.3 that can cause incorrect date order for records (dayfile.txt uses dd/mm/yy and all records should be in ascending chronological order) when you use ''Create missing'', the bugs are believed fixed in version 1.9.4.
