* create the relevant monthly and/or annual NOAA style report by choosing ''NOAA Monthly Report'' or ''NOAA Annual Report'' from the '''View''' menu, then select the required period using the selectors, click the ''Update Display'' button to see various statistics (including [[Average_temperature|mean temperature]]) calculated from processing the monthly log files, and finally press ''Save'' button to store the new or amended report.

Cumulus will then look through all monthly log files and create approximate records for any ''missing dates'' in the dayfile if those dates have observations stored in the relevant monthly log. (It creates a file in the Cumulus folder called ''dayfileeditlog.txt'' which contains the entries it created). Click the ''Help'' button for more information. In past and current versions (including 1.9.3), ''create missing'' will not affect any records that are incomplete or contain some rogue values (see [[Monthly_log_files#Using_Monthly_logs_to_deal_with_shorter_.28or_incomplete.29_dayfile.txt_records_for_particular_dates | workaround]] below).
