Interesting way of looking at it.scgallafent wrote:Looking at it another way, there were 458 ward-member-opportunities to take the sacrament; of those, 301 were taken. In this case, 66% of the opportunities that were available to take the sacrament were taken.
Although, I do question: "Each Sunday that an attendance number is reported, throw the number of membership records into Bucket B."
Is it really done that way or is it an average of all Sundays regardless of attendance reports? I noticed in your math you averaged each bucket instead of just dividing the two. The difference would only come into play if some Sundays are not reported. But it does make a difference in the complexity of the coding. The only issue I see there is that Sundays with no reports are not likely to have the memberships as up to date at the end of the day because there was no meetings. (Which brings up another question - is the count done at the end of Sunday or at the start of it?)
Who knew that such a simple concept could go so far into the weeds?
