WG Week in Review Correction: 2009 vs 2003A

As I mentioned in my previous post, the calculation for determining the Goal WΔ was incorrect for comparing 2009 entries to 2003A, and as a result, the amount any particular week was ahead or behind was off (stat showed me more behind than reality). I've gone back and recalculated for each week of the year, and have displayed the wrong and the corrected numbers here:

The incorrect formula was calculating the delta needed assuming that I needed to make up the year's difference in the bills I still needed to enter starting this week to meet my year's entry goal. So for this week, it was calculating that I needed to cover the year's 2,264 bill deficient (2009 vs 2003A) in the 4,415 bills I had left to enter for this year. As such, as it week went by, the calculation would be more and more off.

Now that it's fixed, you can add the weekly difference to last week's overall difference and obtain this week's overall difference (+/- 1 since fractional bills are rounded). The overall numbers were calculated separately (and correctly), so they were right, so I always knew where I was at with the goal. I only had the wrong information regarding how the week's entries had done.
