Hi,
I appologise that my previous example may have been misleading
because the valuewhen() statement looks as if it could do the job.
I wont bore you with all the reasons but one problem is that the
second value may be coincidentally the same as the first and I still
need to know that its related to a new condition. I dont have a
second array to use in FLIP(). The condition is only 1 on the day it
occurs and reverts to 0 for other days.
Tomasz's FLIP()example would be fine if it worked on one array but
not two eg
array1 000000010000100000
result 000000011111000000
Using cum()can work in some cases but not for my purpose because I
want to reset to 0 or 1 each time condition occurs.
result 00000001111122222222333
