Indexes
Message posted by Dawn on April 5, 2000 at 12:00 AM (ET)

I'm working on a project that requires the development of a MPI (market potential index)for base area. I've come up with an average index of 255. What I'd like to do is set 255 at 100 and adjust the other indexes accordingly. What is the calculation for this? Can I do this?
