Uploading Activity Data via Spreadsheets

Gravity allows you to import any activity data (utility information, fuel cards, spend files, transportation files, and more) by uploading spreadsheets (.csv, .xls, .xlsx) to any location within the Gravity platform.

Get Started: One Site/Fleet

If you have a spreadsheet with data for a single site or fleet, you can upload your data by:

1. Going to any Site or Fleet, click "+Add Data", and input the Source and Fuel or Power Source.  
2. Dropping your spreadsheet into the "Drop files here or click upload" dropzone
3. Follow the prompts in the guided uploader to upload your file, and click "Submit" to see all of your data appear in on the platform. 

Get Started: Multiple Sites/Fleets/Activities

If you have a spreadsheet with data for a multiple sites, or with multiple emissions sources (e.g. electricity and natural gas, or purchased goods and capital goods) you can upload your data by:

1. Going to the the corresponding page (e.g. Sites, Production and Services) and clicking "+Add Data". 
2. You will be immediately prompted to upload your file.
3. At the asking you to specify column matches, remember to add the columns that maps to 1) Site or Fleet Name, Address 2) Activity Role.
4. Follow the prompts in the guided experience to upload your file, and click "Submit" to see all of your data appear in on the platform. 

Troubleshooting

• The following columns are required:
  • Quantity of the activity (e.g. 900)
• Gravity will guide you to create or autocreate the following:
  • Description of the activity (e.g. Grid-Purchased Electricity, October Fuel Usage)
  • Start Date of the activity
  • End Date of the activity (Gravity will generate End Date = Start date if this is missing)
  • Units of the activity (e.g. kWh, Therms, Miles)
• Be sure to resolve errors such as missing data.  
  • You can do this by clicking on the Error tab on the top left of the "Review and Finalize" screen, and editing the file directly within the platform.
• For multi-site uploads, "Activity Role" refers to:
  • the name of the power source (e.g. Grid-Purchased Electricity, On-Site Renewable Electricity)
  • the name of the fuel source (e.g. Natural Gas, Coal, Propane)
  • the name of the contaminant (e.g. Free Zone, Freeze 12)
  • the name of the activity (e.g. "janitorial services", "drayage to warehouse", "Q1 business travel")
