Default Calculation detail

Will you....

When using the development method:
Show link ratio triangle & selections, or just use weighted average and show ATA?

When using berquist sherman:
Show entire triangle before selecting recent diagonal, or only calculate values along most recent diagonal?

Are there other things you are leaving out in your calculations?

1. Volume-weighted unless problem calls for another method. I will, of course, state that my selection is a volume-weighted average.
2. Show entire triangle, choose latest diagonal, and state that I am selecting the latest diagonal.
