in reply to Array of arrays - redux

Why do I have a feeling that the more I read about your problems, the more you should tell us the entire problem you are trying to solve instead of just a small portion of it, and how you have coded that small portion? i.e. why do you have an array of arrays, why do you need to look back over 15 rows, why does the data you are looking for change etc.

If you spot any bugs in my solutions, it's because I've deliberately left them in as an exercise for the reader! :-)

    The small portion of it is the problem - that's where I'm getting stuck with error message. The rest of the script is working.

    The reason I have to look back over the previous 15 rows is not relevant to the array problem. It's a requirement of the processing, nothing more.

    The data value that I'm looking for changes because it's based on the several values in the current row of original data (which has 17 fields). Deriving that value is not an issue, the code produces the correct value to search for.
