schedules maker does not work. zone label is not in the index

[RicardoGomesIST]

Hi, when I run the building demand/Building schedules from the CEA dashboard it does not run and says that the first zone label is not in the index.

I have around 1800 buildings. I created the schedules from the Archetype Mapper and they appear on the \inputs\building-properties\schedules and look good.

here is the info I get:

I Work with City Energy Analyst version 3.7.0, on windows 10 thank you very much

I created a new archetype database by copying the CH and changed the name and added some solutions. Everything seems good when using the Archetype Mapper. But for the schedules doesn't run well. After hours I understood that the standard name was too long (at least it worked with smaller ones). Now it runs. So, I will just leave this post for you to confirm this possibility or is other thing that I didn't notice.

thank you!

I can confirm that sometimes pandas would guess and encode the names of buildings incorrectly (e.g. as floats instead of string, etc). One way we solve this is to explicitly tell pandas to always read the "Name" column as string.

Closing this issue as it has been resolved.
