Dear Michael,
Many thanks, it does the trick.

Subject: Re: Data analysis Summary file
Hi Kees,
the error message is misleading, the problem is that 'split' results
in Strings (text), but you need numbers for division (you can use '+'
on Strings, it is String concatenation).
e.g.
a = parseFloat(values[2]);
