And yes Access probably would have been easier, but I don’t have access to it :frowning: So I make do with what I have.

I’ve done a fair amount of simplifying input data, such as dog piling all Ethnicity’s involving 2 or more origins as simply “Mutt” - I apologize now for the over simplification, but as I do not have an easy way to track all the different countries people claim origin. However, if you claim White or Caucasian, then you’re collected under “White”. All other groups have their own title, but for simplification I had to combine those. I also chose to combine all Protestant churches under the Protestant label.

So if you want more in depth stats, then you’ll have to pick it up, but with what I’m doing - that’s plenty in depth for me :wink:

Sincerely,
Your number cruncher

Excellent work, stats man. Someone would have been on to me to do shtg otherwise.

Admit it, roger - this whole thread is just an experiment to see who removes the asterisk next to ‘Ethnicity.’

Not exactly, 309 (if I may). It’s designed to determine what type of person would comment to the effect that it’s merely an experiment to see who removes the asterisk.

Mods, you may now close this thread.
