- "results are not correct"   In what way not correct?

I have discontinuous time series precipitation data but some days, the time step is 15 minutes and for some days the time steps is 5 minutes. I need either 5 minute time step data or 15 minutes. I tried to use linear interpolation but results are not correct. Any idea to generate constant time step data? Doing it on excel is very time consuming.Because data is for two years (5 and 15 minutes time step)

"data does not match"   Isn't that what one should expect?
Assume you have 24 hours of constant rain of 0.01 inches per 15-minute. That will result in 60/15*24*0.01 = 0.9600 inches for that 24-hour period.
Now interpolate to get 5-minute values. Each 5-minute value will be 0.01 inches. The sum for the 24-hour period will now be 60/5*24*0.01 = 2.8800 inches.
