I tried that -- actually made the above changes and saved it as a new method and ran it but my Opt field still shows 0. I'd love to see what you're seeing. I just can't reproduce it on my end. I'd find that concerning when only one ranker exists. By the way, I now recall that the default value is a weight. When you have multiple rankers, you can set the weight for each ranker and optimize it in relation to other rankers. I think it adds up all rankers to find the % of weight to give any specific ranker. There is also the checkbox "Scale Indicator Values" that will alter the ranker value. But I rarely use that feature -- usually only one ranker at a time. Thanks, Jeff B | |
