Print3-1 Yankees at the stretch. It's looking more and more as if the Angels' hopes for staying alive will depend on beating Mariano Rivera. I don't like those odds.

Saw someone with a NYY beanie today.

classy guy
in the UK the other day, they put the leader of the ultra right wing British National Party on TV, with a panel and an audience asking him questions. He was mostly unable to answer for his racism (‘England for the “English”’, whoever they might be), but he did claim that he ’didn’t deny that they holocaust had happened, but it was mostly the result of over-enthusiastic policing".
Again, classy guy
Yeah, kinda torn about the whole thing, really
(not the holocaust, obviously) – it’s good that he gets exposed as a simple minded racist on live tv, and free speech is important, but it also gives them the oxygen of publicity, and helps to legitism them as a political party.
Jean Marie le Pen, the odious leader of the French equivalent, the Front National, said recently they when they let him go on French TV in the mid 80s, though he did get the shit kicked out of him, verbally, it was the start of his party’s remarkable success…
Isn't the BNP guy kind of a moron, though?
Le Pen is hateful and disgusting, but he’s not an idiot.

oh yeah, Griffin *is* an idiot
and a jerk.
best thing is, though – the BNP might, by law, have to let non-whites join the party; if enough do, they could vote him out of the leadership, and make BNP be something else entirely…
that's an interesting strategy....

One of the A's best moments this season might have been
when the Angels traded for Kazmir. Way overpaid.

ok, this should work, i think
=SUM>0,1))
adjust the cells to match yours
it works on mine, but I have the latest version of excell – i don’t remember if this is one of the formulae they tweeked or not (that was quite annoying when they did that, incidentally)
i guess i should be more specific
i have one array of data that are all unique and another array of the same data, but some aren’t used and some are used.
(I’m trying to match controls to experimentals)

woah.... i just noticed that the formula i pasted got mangled
ok – it sounds like it wouldn’t have worked, anyway -
to clarify – you have two columns, A and B (for example), and first of all, you want to see which ones from A are not in B, and secondly, you want to know how many that is?
i just need to know how many different values are in column B
screw col A for all I care, it’s just that I pulled the values from there and I thought it would be easy to compare. I want to use something like Len but that’s only for text

oh, ok. in that case, my first formula would have been fine, if it had come out ok
for some reason, double brackets screw this up. lemme try again
=SUM (IF (FREQUENCY (A1:A6,A1:A6) >0,1 ) )
ok, that worked better
just remove the spaces that I had put in to make this work here
yes!

NP
I do love Excel, a lot.
Incidentally, the vlookup method I desribed below is a great way of comparing two large arrays of data, and will work for text and numbers, should you ever need to do that in the future
i get the one you did above
but the vlookup one I have to try. I think I get what it’s doing though.

yeah, when combine it with the filtering function
it’s super useful.
incidentally, should anyone reading this want to hire me to crunch excel data, I’m available.
God knows that’s true
Can you use an if:then?
First, select the column and sort by value, lowest to highest.
Then, in the next column, write a little if:then comparing the value of row A+1 with the value of row A.
If the values are the same, then define the neighboring cell as value 1. If not, then value 0
Find the zeros, add up the intervening 1s, and you’ll have a sort of clunky way of counting.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
the formula above *should* work
your way would work, too, if you did a =countif(range, >1), or similar
if that's the case, first do this:
=vlookup(A1,B$1:B$20, 1, false)
this will tell you if cell A1 appears in the array B1:B20. If it does, the formula will return that value, if it doesn’t, it’ll says #N/A, or similar.
so, having done this, copy that cell down to the one below, so it says
=vlookup(A2, B$1:B$20), 1, false)
and so on, so you have all the values in column A checked against B. The absent ones will be the ones that have not been used.
then, you can use the formula, =COUNTIF, which will give you the count unused numbers
go phillies indeed!
now I can say this without hesitation: FUCK the Yankees!!
