factorX, I was hoping to get a dialogue started because as you noticed that number was all over my workout. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to play last night. I spent a lovely 10+ hours in the emergency room. It only got lovely after the shot of pain killers they kept giving me. So, let's do this again.
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I hope you're better now. Let's do this again except without the visit to the ER.

Whew! Okay, now I've calmed down a little. I went back and had yet another look to see what I could find about 284. When I test a number, I make a special chart that assumes the number is going to fall that day. This chart contains every example where 284 fell in the entire history of the VA P3. The leftmost column is this month and each column to the right is further back in the history of P3. Then I make a macro that runs through the chart line-by-line looking for historical syncs. What I saw yesterday with 284 was that the syncs were happening one day off in such a way that would indicate that 284 should have fallen the previous day, Wednesday. Because I don't know what that means, I've always just dropped numbers when that happens. There were two syncs I noticed when I did that workup. I've pasted in a cut-down version of my worksheet below that shows them. You can see why I need a macro to help chew through all this! I guess I could get a program to do it, but I'd miss puzzling things like the numbers that are one day off. Because of what we learned here, I'm going to be more careful from now on in cases like this.
