<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">Hi All,</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">I think I would like to take a stab at collecting and organizing the data for the monthly total threads similar to the way I had seen some time ago. To do this the input would have to be standardized, so Word and Excel can easily extract, separate, organize and present the data for each activity area. I would like to try that for July. I can add other options to the presentation as the system evolves.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">We could start with the July totals with this thread, if you like. If it has already begun we could try using this type of data format on that thread.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">What if everyone who posted in the monthly total thread posted their entries in a specified format where the data elements were separated by a character that was not use frequently, such as a “pound sign”, as in #?</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">A set of examples would be:</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">If everyone were to enter their data like this, I could easily extract the info from the pages and present them as tabulations and graphs in the starting post of the thread. I would close out the data collection on the 10<sup><span style="font-size:small;">th</span></sup></span>of each month and post the results below in 5 days.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">What do you think? What would you like the presentation to include? My program would only pick up lines that begin with a # sign. All non compliant data entries would be ignored in the results.</span></span></p>
