This is great! I'm going to try to apply this to my stock picking to see if it improves my "slot market" skills.

It seems to me the attribute scores can be actual data for each option like horsepower, gas mileage, price if you keep the scores within 2 or 3 orders of magnitude. I just figured out that costs should be negative numbers and benefits positive numbers. A car example: price would be -25(thousand)dollars, monthly maintenance -80 dollars, gas mileage 33 mpg, horsepower 200 (or maybe 20 to maintain scaling).

We were doing the *exact* same thing in Lotus 1-2-3 back in the '85 when I taught Lotus at a corporate Info Center.

Great matrix, my wife and I used it to help in deciding whether to move from where we live now, or to another city.

Mike,

The spreadsheet and the method look very useful. I've downloaded it, and will let you know how it works. I intend to try it both personally and professionally.

Thanks.
