I am attempting to learn the advance features for tables and could not understand 29.7 as the result for $at=vmean(@-II..@-I);%.1f. I copied the table and formulas into a scratch org file, changed the floating point to .2f and the result was 25.00, which I believe is correct. I changed it back to .1f and 25.0 was the result. Is the result as given in the manual supposed to demonstrate some concept that is not evident to me? Charlie Millar
