My expectation was that item 1 (total electric usa

Thank you for the response. One of the missing output variable was this: Output:Meter,ExteriorLights:Electricity,HOURLY; It accounted for the missing usage value.

Glad it worked - I think the protocol when you get the solution is to select an answer and append the question with '[closed]'.
