You're correct, I'd like to have it that way, actually - I am just too tired today even to make up an example correctly - but that doesn't matter, if you can rely on friendly people :) > And how come `y` is left out of the results alltogether? That is done on purpose - I want to be able specify an Array of variables which are not fixed here - in this case ['y'], in fact, one of the values of any of the variables must change in my data, but all of the others or some of the others can remain the same and I must account for that. I think I can work with your proposals very well now. Thank you, Best regards, Axel -------------------------------1147805830--
