A measure of how difficult a call it is: It took the stewards almost 15 minutes to decide it. There was an objection as well as an inquiry. Richard Migliore called it on the ADR broadcast, but as...

Thanks for your reply Dave

I did it by using MAX(0,J2) to create a duplicate column of figs that I could plug into a formula in another column. Your formula seems pretty slick, like I could plug it right into the formula and...
