OpenStudio: Monthly Utility Bills Calibration

I am using OpenStudio v2.1.0 to model a building. I have monthly utility data that I imputed into the model as this tutorial video suggests one do: (https://youtu.be/4QolgLJ4tp0). However, I am using TMY3 data as opposed to a real year for weather data, though I do select an actual year in order to input the monthly bills. And I do not enter in the utility pricing as I am only concerned at the moment with an energy consumption comparison.

A couple problems arise:

1) When I attempt to alter the year of the monthly bills to something other than 2017, OpenStudio crashes.

2) When I leave the year on 2017, I am able to run the calibration, however in OpenStudio ResultsViewer, the utility bills do not show up.
