How to set the correct file format for Circle K Denmark

This guide shows you how to set the correct file format for Circle K POS reports for upload to effectmanager.

Circle K POS reports can be created in your Circle K PowerBI and used for uploading POS data to effectmanager. 

It is important that you use the ISO week filter option in effectmanager to get the correct report. 

🔴OBS! For week 01. If the first week of a year - week 01, is across two years the POS report from Circle K, will list days from week 01 as belonging to the previous year.

You MUST correct this manually by opening the CSV file in Notepad++ and make a search/replace for the year. 

Example - Week 01 2020: is from 30/12/2019 - 05/01/2020. 

Data from the days 30/12-31/12 2019 is listed as week 01 2019. But is in fact from week 01 2020. 

To get data loaded correctly you must do a search for 2019 and replace it with 2020.
