Scalar division not working

And Ravel will need to be stricter about applying the formats - oh that format doesn't match, lets try the next one on the list, and so on. The problem is in the data. Currently Ravel has the capability to manage such a mess, but it requires some thought from the user. There's no way of automating it. [tickets:#1867]...

Yeah, but it's a chore. I'd rather we supported multiple formats in the one dimension, with Ravel handling the underlying time dimensions seamlessly between different formats. Until then, if one format only is supported, then that format is imposed on subsequent Ravels with the same time dimension. For quarterly data (Debt) followed by monthly data (House Price Index), the quarterly elements of the monthly data would be imported and the non-quarter months (1-2,4-5,7-8, 10-11) dropped.

RVL file.

Yes there is! See the attached screenshot (model to come in the next comment). This process still results in 12 quarters per year, and the associated "chunky" plots where three potentially different values--from different months--are stacked on top of each other. We need to map from months to quarters (and all other date transformations) properly. The simplest here would be to impose quarters on the correct months (3=Q1, 6=Q2, 9=Q3, 12=Q4) and drop the other months. That would do at present. At a...

A suggestion: add a multi-plot widget. Options would include how many series to plot per chart (default 1). The output could be a frame which can be resized containing the number of generated charts, which the user could resize. Or an option could be layout 2x5, 3x3, etc. This would be a useful feature to add for the first commercial release if we get seed funding.

I know I could have started importing the first two files without specifying a date format, and then the 3rd could have imported fine with the DMYT underlying format. But a new user will not know that. Here's the Excel-edited file which should import fine now; we should enable the automatic creation of this in Ravel.

RVL and CSV files. I edited the CPI file to remove the yearly data. The ZIP file still contains all the CPI data unedited.
