Hello

I'm so sorry, but I'm pretty new to programming, so I'm not exactly sure I got your full idea...

I'm not exactly letting the value decide what column/month it is...the value is actually the frequency of occurrence of the key in that month.

And when you say store the column/month/name inside the hash, you mean as the value of the hash? Or the key? I apologize for my ignorance, but I haven't the foggiest idea of how to go about that ><, since they're not exactly the values I need (the values I need are the frequencies of occurrence)

The last point about decimals is really interesting though :) In the end, I'm going to input the information into an excel file and plot graphs using the data, so this can come into good use :)

Thank you so much for your helpful input! :D

Best Regards

Buzzybee
