This leads to a lengthy involved expression

Expression Part 1
The second decision I made was to compare each performance to the World Record that stood at the time of the performance. The reasoning here was that some events have progressed, so it was a way of making the historical comparisons fairer. However, this does lead to more complications in construction of the expressions as the croatia phone number value we are comparing to will now also depend upon the date of the performance in all cases where a World Record has been achieved in the last 15 years.
If we take the Men’s Decathlon as an example, the calculation looks like this:
Expression Part 2
The World Record has been broken twice in the relevant time period, so before 29/08/15 we compare a score to 9026, otherwise if it is before 16/09/18 we compare it to 9045, and after then we compare it to 9126.
Certainly the one that has taken me the most time to ever create as it needed plenty of research work since there have been more than 60 records broken in the last 15 years and I needed to go and find them all and when they happened! – but the end result is one where we will give a value to every single performance in every single event as a % of the World Record (WR) value (and necessarily these will all be <100% as no British athlete has broken a WR in the last 15 years).
