Hey there,
I was wondering wether there is a smart way to convert the words/chars in the Studio report to lines - in Studio itself or via an app maybe?
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Jerzy Not only Transit customers and courts! It is standard counting method in Switzerland. WalterUnknown said:For me the calculation in lines is dead - only Transit customers do stick to that and maybe courts & private customers.

Hi Jesse,
Cool... if it helps (just ignore if it doesn't) I have attached a spreadsheet I used when we created InQuote and this might be useful to understand how the counts work.
It includes rates as InQuote was used for this, but the calculations were supposed to be based on the Studio analysis, the line count and a rolled up simplified analysis. The line count was also customisable because at the time I seem to recall there were different views over what a line was.
Really great that you are working on this already, and so open to enhancing it... thank you!
Cheers
Paul

Hi Jesse
First thanks for working on this.
Let me add some information that may be useful to you when programming the options:
- In Switzerland it is quite custom to bill by lines
- A line is of variable length, the most common length is 55 characters, but there are also other flavors (the federal government for example uses 60 characters). This means that there should ideally be a variable to indicate the size of a line.
- An additional distinguishing aspect is that we usually count the characters including the spaces (this is one of the most annoying aspect of the Studio analysis because it only counts characters and we always need to add the number of words to get the correct count). It would be good to be able to specify whether the count should be with or without spaces.
