<div class="IPBDescription">Need some help</div>Heya folks. I asked on this section a while ago for SQL help and posted some preliminary results. Since then I removed erroneous entries, finished creating a report, and sort of forgot about it. Now however I'd like to move forward, so need some advice.

<a href="http://www.freeuploadshare.com/files/hvXOcP1341862871.html" target="_blank">Here is the .docx file</a>

Can someone proof read that? Any advice on changes or more graphs?

Also I was thinking would be better to have as a PDF rather than .docx file, anyone know a good (free) converter?

Any ideas on places that would be interested in this? Or is this all rather dull and I should shut up?

Thanks :)

    "is terrible at gets a 1" should be "is terrible and gets a 1".
    "so that averages will be less likely throw out by a stray erroneous entry" probably needs to be rewritten/reworded.

    I didn't really understand the metrics you used or what was in the tables (total/average/difference/absolute difference of what?).

    Word (if that's what you're using) can export to .pdf files.

    I don't know where you could submit this to, but I don't think it's dull or uninteresting. I don't usually read game reviews so it's not something I'd ever considered, but it's interesting now that you've brought it up and supported it with real data.

    Thanks. The exact formulas are at the very bottom, but you are right I should try and explain what they mean in words.

    Guess my word is missing something since I don't see PDF as a format on the file menu.

    Which version are you using? In 2010 it's built in but in 2007 I think there's a separate option which will then download something to make it work.

    <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9943" target="_blank">This</a> might be what you need.

    By the way, could you explain what the numbers mean? I can't remember all of the details of SQL and I couldn't work out what it does in my head.

    Alternatively you can get 'pdf printers' that lets you use the print function to save the document as a pdf. This works with any program that can print (you just select the virtual pdf printer in the print options). I think adobe has an official virtual printer that lets you do this (Though I can't quite find it on their webpage just now), I've also use <a href="http://www.cutepdf.com/" target="_blank">cutePDF</a>, and it works perfectly.
