Chemcode ammendment

Good morning,
Are you able to change the Chemcode for phosphorus for our historically uploaded data related to our Ipswich project? Specifcially, I'm hoping to have the Chemcode Phosphorus (7723-14-0) changed to 7723-14-0(as P) for historical data before Sept 2019.
Somehow, the Chemcode of some previously imported lab reports a year ago have changed to another, resulting in two seperate graphs for Phosphorus.
Your help is much apprciated.

Hello, Phosphorus can be reported in many forms (Phosphorus as PO4, Phosphorus as P etc..). Each form has a different ChemCode and you may need to request the lab report the form you need to report. If you think there is an inconsistency or incorrect ChemCode has been applied for a specific result can you do the following? - View the data on a ChemTable.
- Click Result Details & Comments (https://ESdat.net/ESdat_Online_Help/data_qualifiers_and_comments.htm )
- You will be able to see the ChemCode and the OriginalChemName for that result. The OriginalChemName is the name the lab reported, and the ChemCode is a standardised Code for that analyte that allows data from multiple laboratories and guidelines to be compared.
- Make a note of these & repeat for any other results you are concerned about.
- You can check the ChemCode list in ESdat using the "Chemistry Search" button on the top of the home page, if you search for Phosphorus you will see all the different options available.
- If you think a ChemCode has been assigned that is incorrect for the OriginalChemName can you provide both those values by reply and we'll verify or correct.
Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex, thanks for your reply.
We inherited the project from Sept 2019, from which point, the lab provided results as ChemCode: 7723-14-0(As P) and Original Chem Name: Total Phosphorus as P. Prior to us winning the work, results were provided as ChemCode: 7723-14-0 and Original Chem Name: Phosphorus (Total).
We had not used ESdat prior to this time, and unfortunately were unaware of these subtleties in ensuring Phosphorus Chemcodes and Chemnames remained the same.
Are you able to do a bulk reassignment of the Chemcodes for all samples under the Ipswich project from Sept 2019 onwards, to 7723-14-0(As P)?

Hello Jono, It sounds like the correct ChemCodes are assigned for those two way of reporting Phosphorus? Its not just a matter of assigning the ChemCode for "Total Phosphorus as P" to "Phosphorus (Total)". In order to convert between the two the result also needs to be adjusted accordingly (ie to adjust for the different molecular mass). The only resolution is to reimport either the data in the "inherited project" or the data since in the form you want it in. Alex
