The file data is not available currently. The program for that is
being created elsewhere.
But essentially it is this:
Looping through raw data cells if x>y then set flag value in results cells.
If other columns meet other conditions then munge data and set other
values in other results cells.
Not really more complex than that though some of the conditions and
loop control may get tricky in some boundary conditions.
Something trivial in C but that is not available to me. So trying to
learn something new which used to be much easier as I recall long ago.
So anyway just wondering what the way is to reduce the reference to
the cells to a minimal string.
Your other code worked perfectly so one more step along the path, thanks again.
