Hello Linda,
Thanks a lot for the reply I'll take a look at the new version.

Have you downloaded V1.2.2? We now have a "custom format" that can be done
and should make your job a lot easier. The CSV input format does expect
all the usual headers. I will answer your other questions, inline:

You cannot ignore those records but could put:
Typical/Extreme Periods,0
etc.

Your data is every 30 minutes -- so you would put there what your data
is. EnergyPlus will interpolate later.

Do not leave field blanks -- assign them missing values as shown in the
IDDs for weather records in the Auxiliary programs manual. Or, better, use
the custom weather format.

You can easily make a CSV file from any of the EPW files with the weather
converter.
Again, I would strongly suggest using the custom format instead. You
should be able to save your Excel file as .csv. (I'm not sure tab
delimited will work with the weather converter. Space delimited fields do
work, however).
