    I don't know what others call this type of problem but I call them "data smears" because it's like you smearing strips of color down from one wet paint spot to another.

    I thought I was the only one that referred to this as a smear or smudge (I've used both to describe this type of solution in the past 🙂 ). Now you have me wondering if I picked up the term from you!

    Dunno... I've been using the term on these forums for a long time. Might simply be that great minds think alike. 🙂

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
