Default match two columns (with equal dates) and their attached data

hi claudia,

you are relying on the structure of the dataset to align the time
series from the various instruments, so that any interruption ruins
the alignment.

i suggest an alternative:

since each data point, ie row of data collected, is probably time
stamped with a time, your statistics functions should exploit the
time stamp. even if the rows are out of alignment, the timestamps
should identify the points for each time. that's easily done using
VLOOKUP.
