If the item requested is a page, then it's a Page Request - if Page1.pdf is
requested 1024 times, then there are 1024 Page Requests for that item. That
is, both R and P would be 1024, if thy were both listed. If the requested
item isn't a page, then P will obviously be 0.
This means that, for the Request Report, P (and Q) is a meaningless
measure - if it's a Page, then all the requests are Page Requests, if it's
not a page, then none of them are.
In all of the other reports, P and R are distinct measures - a host can
request both pages and non-pages, a folder can contain both pages and non
pages, a time period will contain requests for both pages and non-pages.
By the way, your errors.txt file should hhave included this message:
analog: Warning C: In Request Report, P and Q not allowed in COLS: ignoring
them
