Hi:

>possible.
An example of result before the call to calc_numbers is: [50L, -1, 1, -1]
an example after the call is: [50L, 25, ' ', 25]
the code:
def calc_numbers(alist):
sum = 0
count = 0
for li in alist:
# in the database, -1 is unspecified and 1 is null
if li >= 0 and li != 1:
sum = sum + int(li)
if li == -1:
count = count + 1
temp = 100 - sum
if count != 0:
number = temp/count
else:
number = temp
for li, pos in enumerate(alist):
if pos == -1:
alist[li] = number
elif pos == 1:
alist[li] = ''
return alist
Thanks,
Patricia
