It's always clearer to the author. Thanks for
pointing out the confusion.

Both are for $. Enter the price at your local "Brand
Name" station in the first one. Enter the price at
your local "Discount" station in the second one. That
way we get a better picture of each area.

I have re-labeled the fields. Hope it is a little
clearer now.

Thanks

Mike
