View my usage.... a suggestion

[#1]

For anyone wishing to put usage data in to a spreadsheet, the current presentation is not ideal.
The existence of two measures GB and MB in the same table as presented by PN with the requisite annotations is the problem, as also is the need to convert info to either MB or GB to make analyses.
I suggest to PN management, therefore, that all usage should be standardised to GB to, say, three decimal points.

[#2]

Good call!

[#3]

Could I supplement that by suggesting that "GB" then need not be included after the values, so that the table only contains numbers?

[#4]

@ JohnJ. That's the  intention implied but not expressed in "The existence of two measures GB and MB in the same table as presented by PN with the requisite annotations is the problem"

[#5]

Sorry, I may have interpreted that in more mathematical terms 
Would you consider trying a Greasemonkey script that converted all MB numeric values to GB and omitted the "requisite annotations"?

[#6]

Hmm! With my tech nous

[#7]

Why not?
What's the worst that can happen? 

[#8]

Another nuclear disaster, forest fires in the Sahara, a abd attack of arsteroids? ;D.
If not me someone might want and feel more able to use?

[#9]

I'm sure you wouldn't get the blame for all of those... probably.  
So, here's a greasemonkey script that seems to work OK for me. However I'm not sure about the global side effects.

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Broadband Usage in gigabytes
// @namespace      https://portal.plus.net/view_my_broadband_usage/index.php
// @description    Remove UOM from usage figures
// @include        https://portal.plus.net/view_my_broadband_usage/index.php?&strAction=PERIOD
// ==/UserScript==
var currentUom, currentCell, currentUsage;
var targetCells = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
var targetH3 = document.getElementsByTagName('h3');
for (i=0; i < targetCells.length; i++) {
	if (currentCell = targetCells.childNodes[0].nodeName !== 'STRONG') {
		currentCell = targetCells.innerHTML;
	}
	else {
		currentCell = targetCells.childNodes[0].innerHTML;
	}
	currentCell = currentCell.replace(/\s/g, '');
	currentUom = currentCell.substr(-2);
	currentUsage = parseFloat(currentCell);
	switch (currentUom)
	{
	case "KB":
		currentUsage = currentUsage/1000/1000;
		targetCells.innerHTML = currentUsage.toFixed(3);
		break;
	case "MB":
		currentUsage = currentUsage/1000;
		targetCells.innerHTML = currentUsage.toFixed(3);
		break;
	case "GB":
		currentUsage = parseFloat(currentUsage);
		targetCells.innerHTML = currentUsage.toFixed(3);
		break;
	default:
		currentCell = currentCell;
	}
}
for (i=0; i < targetH3.length; i++) {
	if (targetH3.innerHTML === 'Key:') {
		targetH3.innerHTML = 'Note:';
		targetH3.nextElementSibling.innerHTML = '<li>All figures are in gigabytes (GB)</li>';
	}
}

Edit - updated the script code

[#10]

Now in serious mode! :lol: What would I need do with that script in my Win7 Home Premium set up. I haven't a clue how to install or use for the purpose in mind.

[#11]

These are the steps:
1. Install Firefox
2. Install Greasemonkey add-on to Firefox
3. In Firefox, select Tools > Greasemonkey > New User Script...
4. In the window that appears enter a name for this script, eg "Broadband usage in gigabits" and click OK.
5. A page should open in your text editor, eg Notepad.
6. Copy the entire text from the code box in my previous message in this topic, and paste it into the window opened in step 5, replacing the previous contents.
7. Close the text editor, saving the changes.
8. Go to the Plusnet Broadband usage (for the current period).
9. Optionally, tell me where I've got it wrong 
FYI. There are other ways to achieve the above. Also, I believe that Chrome supports userscripts without an add-on, but I've never tried it.

9. Optionally, tell me where I've got it wrong

It doesn't work!

[#13]

I only claimed that it worked for me
Could you be a little more specific? For example, are some of the values changed and not others?

[#14]

Nothing is changed.

[#15]

Apart from the figures, is there a change in the column at the right, starting "Please note:"?
The script should also add a message at the bottom of that column about the figures being in GB.
