Day 20 (July 9, 2010)

I created a prototype prediction calculator today and it went much better than I expected. I made the calculator in Excel and used several formulas (like vlookups). Due to the use of these formulas, I was able to complete the job without having to create a macro. Ryan's contributions were useful. I think Ryan and I may need to spend a lot of our time over the next couple weeks expanding the calculator, but for now it seems to do a decent job at what it is expected to do so far.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the database Ryan and I gained access to yesterday. We are trying to figure out how to get the data John had pulled a year and a half ago. Which columns to select... Which columns to add together... Which columns to not pull... What do the abbreviations mean??? More time needs to be spent thinking about these things.
