[Equest-users] Tool for removing extraneous schedules from input file

[Paul Riemer]

Remember to keep any schedules that your parametric runs may call.

Bill,

The eQUEST "Quality Control Reporting" tool shows a list of schedules that are not assigned in the model. You would have to delete them manually if you didn't want them in the model. Yes, I agree that it would be handy to have a tool that deletes them automatically. Maybe someone will surprise you for your birthday. ;)

Does anyone know if such a tool exists?

I would like to be able to "clean up" a model by removing schedules (annual, week, day) and perhaps other inputs (utility rates, performance curves) that are not used in the model. Perhaps this would be an Excel macro that searches an input file and then asks for user confirmation before deleting the unused schedules/curves etc.

If this hasn't already been created, this would be an excellent way for some intrepid engineer/student/geek to earn some street cred.
