=== Create Missing ===
=== Create Missing ===
This is a MX utility, by Mark Crossley, to populate most missing [[Calculate_Missing_Values#Derived_value|derived fields]] from the [[Calculate_Missing_Values#Source_value|source values]] in your [[Standard log files|month by month (MMMyylog.txt)]] files, and it creates a new [[dayfile.txt|daily summary (dayfile.txt)]].  If you already have a  "dayfile.txt", that is renamed, the new file should include individual fields, and lines, missing from your old file.


~ The CreateMissing.exe ''v1.2.0'' download dated 05 December 2021 (works with release of MX 3.14.0 onwards) [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CreateMissing/releases/download/v1.2.0/CreateMissing-v1.2.0.zip is here].
This is a MX utility, by Mark Crossley, to populate most missing [[Calculate_Missing_Values#Derived_value|derived fields]] (assuming you already have all necessary [[Calculate_Missing_Values#Source_value|source values]]) in your [[Standard log files|month by month (MMMyylog.txt)]] files, and it creates a new [[dayfile.txt|daily summary (dayfile.txt)]]. If you already have a  "dayfile.txt", that is renamed, the new file should include individual fields, and lines, missing from your old file.  


If you are using an earlier MX release than that stated above, upgrade MX, before using latest release of this utility. (Although earlier releases of "Create Missing" exist on "github.com/cumulusmx/CreateMissing/releases", they should not be used).
~ The CreateMissing.exe ''v1.2.1'' download dated 20 May 2022 (works with release of MX 3.14.0 onwards) [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CreateMissing/releases/download/v1.2.1/CreateMissing-v1.2.1.zip is here].


More information by the author of the utility can be [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CreateMissing/blob/master/README.md found here.]
The download zip does not include the "*.dll" files needed to run the utility, these are provided in a MX release zip from release stated alongside download link onwards. If you are using an earlier MX release than that stated, upgrade MX to bring in the new "*.dll" files needed, before using latest release of this utility. (Although earlier releases of "Create Missing" exist on "github.com/cumulusmx/CreateMissing/releases", they have software bugs meaning they should not be used).


* Learn when this utility might be useful, and when not, by reading the [[Calculate Missing Values]] page.  
* Learn about this utility by reading the [[Calculate_Missing_Values#CreateMissing.exe|calculate missing]] page in this Wiki.
* Check in the support forum for information about status of bugs in this utility, e.g. it was reported that there were problems concerning storing the line in dayfile.txt for the first of some months
** Elsewhere on that same page learn when this utility might be useful, and what else you can try.
* Check in the support forum for information about status of bugs in this utility, at time of last updating this paragraph there was an outstanding issue concerning storing the line in dayfile.txt for the first of some months if your rollover time is not midnight.
* For full information about solving problems with your '''dayfile.txt''' file read the [[Amending dayfile|amending daily summary file]] page.

*[//{{SERVERNAME}}/Downloads/CumulusMXSource.zip subsequent updated Cumulus MX Source Code] from Steve Loft. He made the following comments,  as he handed the project over to "the community":
**This version of the code is post b3043 as it includes some changes that Steve had made, but not yet released.  
**This version of the code is post the last release I made at build 3043 as it includes some extra changes that I have not finalised.  
**Offered completely '''without support''' in the hope that it might be useful.  
**My source code is offered as my parting gift, completely '''without support''', in the hope that it might be useful to future developers.  
**The code is very badly structured due to the 'Frankenstein' way it was cobbled together from various places. Some of it is a machine translation of parts of Cumulus 1.
