Data Type: Float (Optional) | |||||||||
Either a Float number (ie not an integer), or the variable can be omitted. If the value is a string, the function will attempt to convert it to a number, using the part of the string from the start to the first non-numeric character (ie not one of 0123456789+-*/^). | |||||||||
The number before the decimal point varies between -100 and +100, and describes the symmetry. -100 means all the cost is loaded on the Finish date, +100 means all the cost is loaded on the start date, 0 means it is spread inbetween, and a figure such as +25 and -25 means the cost is skewed towards one end or the other. The number after the decimal point varies between 0 and 99 (although because its after the decimal point it appears as 0 to .99) and describes the degree of peakedness of the distribution. 0 means flat (ie uniformly or evenly distributed) , 99 means concentrated at the point in distribution dictated by skew.
