Hello ! I am using version 5.5 and still having different problems with
Proportion Sum in Add Column statement.


First One : Wrong results... Loosing peoples!

I have two regions in my first table. In my second table, the limits between
the 2 regions were changed so the second one now contains a part of the
first one. I would like to get a Proportion Sum of the initial population. I
am doing :

Add Column "S99" (PropSumOfPop_96 Float)From S96 Set To proportion
sum(Pop_96) Where intersects Dynamic

The result is that the population of the first region (reduced area) is OK,
but the second one only contains the population for the added part...!


Second One : Generating babies... Overlap function also wrong ?

I am using an exact copy of a table with Add Column Proportion Sum and again
have some wrong results. After the operation, I obtain more population than
I had initially! When trying the Overlap function on the problematic region
and the surrounding, I can see that this function don't seem to work
properly as well. It gives me an object that is only part of one region!


Third One : Strange behavior...

I have two tables with the same region. The region in the first table has
251 segments in 3 polygons. The region in the second one has one more node,
but area is the same. When using Add Column with Proportion Sum, I would
expect my variable to get the same value, but it is not what happens. It
reduces from 62340 to 7140 !

Add Column "H99" (PropSumOfPop_96 Float)From H96 Set To proportion
sum(Pop_96) Where intersects Dynamic

Since the column is dynamic, I can do the following : When removing the node
from the second region, I can see the population variable coming back to the
good value!!!


This command would be great if it worked 100% of the times! Is there some
hope ? Thanks.
