You can scroll left and right between fields, with a header row identifying which field is which, and you can scroll up and down through all the lines.

# If you are importing into Cumulus records from other software, and that other software does not provide derived extremes (e.g. dew point, apparent temperature, heat index, rain rate, wind run)
The steps you need to take, to implement this Cumulus 1 only workaround:
