Subsampling

In some cases, one record in the file represents a number of separate transactions, for example, posting totals from an accounts payable subsystem. If you want to test only one of the constituent parts, click the [More] button in the Sample dialog and select the “Report subsample amount” checkbox. This causes Analyzer to display the actual dollar (cent) selected along with the other information.

For example, if the selected amount was $12,455, the actual dollar selected might be the 4,620th dollar of this amount. Specifying Subsample causes the $4,620 to be output as well, so that additional sampling can be performed.
