The Timeslice column is used to define a custom pattern type..
Timeslice patterns are defined using key characters. These characters are:
| Symbol | Range | Definition |

Q |
1-4 | Quarter of the year (1=Jan to Mar, 2=Apr to Jun, etc.) |

M |
1-12 | Month of calendar year (1=Jan, 2=Feb, etc.) |

1-7 | Day of week (1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, etc.) |

|
! |
n/a | The "not" operator, e.g., !H1-6 means the data applies in hours other than 1-6 |
To define a pattern, begin with the desired symbol then specify the range. Use commas to separate symbols and semicolons for multiple patterns.
Examples of patterns are:
