What is this thing?

This is a tool for calculating the NISECI and/or HFBI index for a dataset.

Input templates

You can find templates for the input files in the templates folder.

Locale

Since this tool is built with knowing that Excel uses some specific separators with the Italian locale, the tool supports two formats for input/output depending on the platform locale.

You can change the detected locale in the settings.

The format differences are:

• Italian:
  • Input expects ; as csv field delimiter, and , can be used as float decimal delimiter
  • Output uses ; as csv field delimiter, and floats are printed with , as decimal delimiter
• International:
  • Input expectes , as csv field delimiter, and . as float decimal delimiter
  • Output uses , as csv field delimiter, and floats are printed with . as decimal delimiter
