Thank you for the reply, Frank, but I read that before I posted. That's quite inadequate to tell people how to create formulas.
The first three omissions that occur to me are: how do we use the value of one split in computing the value for a different split? How do we use values from a specific other transaction to compute values for this one? How do we do exponentiation, for goodness sake? -- Stan Brown the_stan_br...@fastmail.fm https://BrownMath.com http://OakRoadSystems.com/ On Mon, Sep 17, 2018, at 5:06 AM, Frank H.
