Padawan,
Thank you for your further comments. What I said about the segments in columns from -7 to -10 was a kind of general remark and it did not imply that you recommended removing these segments. I am sorry if you had a different impression.
I am experimenting with the Multiple Segments filter but without using Count passing tickets function and csv.out files. The csv files in my computer are Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values files which look like Excel files, and, unfortunately, the segments in it have the date format. Some time ago, I created for .csv files a kind of association with Excel, and now I cannot find a way to revert this association or convert this format to standard .csv file.
In my experiments I use a file with 100,000 random combinations instead of full package. It takes less time to filter it. To make sure that this file contains the latest winning tickets, I add these tickets manually to the file. And I use Segment calculator and Package statistics. So far I did not use the Excel. I enter the segment lines to the notepad file according to the Stan's suggestions.
The first results are promissing but there are some limitations. It is too early to say more about it.
