robs,

Yes, you have the math correct. You can plug it into an Excel spreadsheet and verify. The 25.6 suggests a binary progression, which is probably expected for your GIS application, but somewhat unusual.

Arcs_n_Sparks - Very good. Yes, it checks out. GIS application? Do I have a stalker? ;)

Thanks a million.

I am merely responding to the information you posted on the forum... 8) 8) 8)

QuoteThe answer to your problem (at least for the series you provided) is:

(1st digit * 0.1) + (2nd digit * 25.6) ...You can plug it into an Excel spreadsheet and verify

Gee I could have told you that! You see the 1st D (digit) * 38 + the 2nd D (digit) * 38 = D squared to the 38 power and when I plug it into her spreadsheet no verification  is needed as the equation only grows~~!

Olds,

Hopefully, you have an accountant for your business.... :D

Am I missing something.???

If 10x + 0 =1.0, then x=0.1

If 4x +y=26, where x=0.1

Then 0.4 +y=26
And y=25.6

TomG,

Missing nothing. Two equations with two unknowns will always yield a solution. The only question was whether the solution held over the range of numbers robs had. Fortunately, it was a linear progression.
