Thanks for the info that is even slower than me manually (although with a newer calc, the 506w).

Impressive.

And I have even a couple of ideas that I can be, without much stress, even faster with the 506w.
In the previous test I put the value in X, I recalled the formula in F4 and I added the result to M with M+.

I could just use M as increment, The formula in F4 as A+function(M) and then save the result in A. This may be clearly faster than my 47 seconds. Maybe I can break the 40s barrier.

I will try when I have time.

edit: anyone with a 71B ?
