Construct a Ladybug data collection from header and values.

### Inputs

* **header \[Required]**

A Ladybug header object describing the metadata of the data collection.

* **values \[Required]**

A list of numerical values for the data collection.

* **interval**

Text to indicate the time interval of the data collection, which determines the type of collection that is output. (Default: hourly). Choose from the following:

```
- hourly

- daily

- monthly

- monthly-per-hour
```

Note that the "hourly" input is also used to represent sub-hourly intervals (in this case, the timestep of the analysis period must not be 1).

### Outputs

* **data**

A Ladybug data collection object.
