Table 1- Statistics applied
Result Value Qualifiers

Result value qualifiers (RVQs) are codes used to highlight any erroneous or missing data.

For example, if some values of a variable are missing due to instrument failure, the user might use '9999' in the data to represent this.

We can therefore map this '9999' user code to the CanWIN Result Value Qualifier EFAI, which means that for this value, the sample was lost because of instrument failure.

Take a look at the RVQs and their descriptions below, and if there are any codes used in your data that correspond to a RVQ, add it under User Code in the table.

Data Dictionary
Describing your variables helps other data users to easily understand and reuse your data.

💡 Help
Common name: A more common or understandable name for the variable (if available)

For example, if 'TdegC' is a variable in your raw data file that represents 'Temperature', then 'Temperature' should be the common name.

Description: Describe or define the variable in the context of how it was used or collected in this dataset.
Describe each variable.
