I don't track the same averages, but your numbers pass "sanity check" now. Thanks for taking the time to correct.

Bedtime bump.

LeadB - Which averages don't match?
Weekly should be bang on (sum(day1...day7)/7) (unless I munged something with a cut/paste).
Overalls might not quite match because of different start dates for data collection (but should be really close by now).

Hey, maybe I missed something (I've been working A LOT lately) but...why is Firefly red? Down on the list of the top 40 the word Firefly is a different color than the rest in the top 5 and the other 35. Whats up?
-e

"Storms getting worse."
"We'll pass through it soon enough."

Ah, but that's the thing, I don't do a running weekly average; I keep track of an average of the "first of the previous month to now" and "jan 1st to now". However, if it will help you worry less:

title total average for past week
Xena 312655 641
Firefly 265868 1,005
Bonanza 250724 895
Gunsmoke 133760 482
Farscape 126076 296
Nikita 116505 173
X-Files 99786 325
Lexx 90692 241
BstarG 82695 421
Roswell 82191 241
Buffy 72827 326

So, you we now have 100% correlation for "average over past week"; and I have also checked the "delta for today" and again we match exactly. So that just leaves the "average for all time", which we don't have the same start dates... but I have no reason to suspect you have any problems. So worry not, I say.

Then worry I shant.
I should have re-read your initial post. I read as "our averages don't match" (so there must be a problem somewhere), but as you've said, it's because we track different things.

Thank you for double and tripple checking and taking the time to do the math.

Serenity

MORE THAN 1%

That makes me happy
