A similar problem was discussed on this list recently and we determined that
two different functions are being called. The Average has both a Series and
a Simple variation that give different results. It is not clear to me that
your code would call the different functions, but you could track down the
problem by saving the two average functions to different names and rewriting
your code below to call the new functions. Then you could put print
statements in the new functions to see which ones are called.
Even if this is the reason, it would seem to be inappropriate to have two
functions that return different values if they are supposed to be the same
thing. Mike gossland is correct in stating that you should never put the
Data2 statement inside parenthesis. Always put it outside the function.
