Hello lottoboy,
“From what I can see, you are setting up your filter to find the tickets that DO NOT have any numbers in them from row 26 in column -1.â€
No, I have filtered some tickets from my package by using the Setting (26-26/0-0) in fact. But I found the setting is unstable in my using, then, I made the Preview by using full package and found the problem. In addition, the data still is 8769222 even I selected multi columns such as 0 + -1 + -2 + -3 … instead -1 only. Also, I did same things by using other settings such as 25-25/0-0, 24-24/0-0, …10-10/0-0.
When you had tickets pass with the (26-26/0-0) setting, it means that those columns had numbers in row 26. If there are no numbers in row 26, or any row you are using like 25 or 24 etc., then you will get no tickets filtered out. When you use rows down that far, you might only get numbers in a very few columns, so when you use settings like 0 and -1 and -2 and -3 you still might not get anything filtered out because there might be only 1 number or no numbers in that one row in several columns. To check this, load your Lotto and your Package and go to the WN History Tab. Click on Update and then Click on the History Differences Tab at the top. Go through the columns and look to see if there are any numbers in row 26 or 25 or 24 etc. and you will see what I mean. The rows are listed on the Left for each column. I just went through my 5 of 56 Lotto and I had 6 columns that each had 1 number in row 26. So if I filtered my file for each column with your setting of (26-26/0-0) then I would have 6 columns that showed the SAME number of tickets filtered. The other 5 columns would pass all the tickets because there were no numbers to filter out.
The reason you got 8769222 on multiple columns is probably because One of the rows in One of the columns had 1 or 2 numbers in it. Say that column 0 had 2 numbers in it, but columns -1 and -2 and -3 did not have any numbers in them. When you tested on column 0 you would show those tickets filtered out. And when you tested on columns 0 and -1 you showed the same number of tickets filtered out, and the same with 0 and -1 and -2.
That is because -1 and -2 didn't have any numbers in row 26 so the only tickets filtered out were the ones from column 0 that had 2 numbers in it.
Go to your History Differences Tab and check it.

Martin
