That sinking feeling you get when you find an error in a formula
Did Microsoft change something in the index() formula? I found an error that I had not seen before in the last 15 years. I should have validated the spreadsheet and recorded why I made some decision more often. I don't recall why I needed to start the index at 1, but that made every number from that point forward need a -1 to fix it. Today, the resultant array was wrong. I set the index to start at 0 and remove the -1 fix and everything was better. What mistakes have you made along the road t

To Developer; It would be cool if you can integrate a chart that can show Gradient descent marginal error. Also, does any one know if I can guide my self by the column of Last Error? I wonder if this column shows what the last marginal error was thus to find the output? Thank you.

Computerized lottery drawing glitch picks same numbers for 3 daysReply
Jack,That's what I've been trying to say ever since I started the petition. With computerized drawings, the lottery draw operators cannot possibly see what program code is actually generating the numbers every night, so there's no way for them to have the slightest clue if they are being scammed by a hacker or insider. The only way they can know everything is OK is by guessing -- looking at the results and trying to somehow sense if something is wrong.Now we clearly see the results of th
