Error when trying to scale ETMoses model to ETM #1486

When trying to scale the ETMoses scenario to ETM, I get the following error. What does this mean and what actions are needed to correct the error?

What does this mean and what actions are needed to correct the error?

The sliders in the ETM add up to 100% and, at the same time, represent a number of technologies: energy_transition_model_-_your_free__independent__comprehensive__fact-based_scenario_builder_ The number of technologies is calculated by multiplying the % with the number of households in the scenario:

number_of_technologies = percentage_of_technology * number_of_households

In the stakeholder analysis, the reverse is done: the slider percentage is calculated from the number of technologies and the number of households:

percentage_of_technology = number_of_technologies / number_of_households.

If you have more (heating) technologies in your LES than the number of households (units of the base-load profile), you cannot express them into slider settings in percentages that add up to 100%.

Solution: reduce the number of technologies to be equal (or less, but that is not recommended either as some households will be in the cold) than the number of households.
