I want to sum the combined compounds using 0.5 of the EQL value for all data less than detection, however where all values are non-detects ESdat always uses a multiplier of 1.

In the example below (Table 1) for Bore 1, all parameters reported results less than detection, the sum of total has used the EQL x 1, I was expecting the sum of total to be <100 rather than <200.

For bore 2, where there is a combination of values less than detection and above the detection limit, the sum of total has used EQL x 0.5 for results less than the detection limit as expected. I was wondering how to apply EQL x 0.5 to the Bore 1 example below.   

Table 1 Output from Chemistry Results Table
 
ParameterUnitsEQLBore 1Bore 2
TPH C10 - C14 Fractionµg/L50<50<50
TPH C15-C28 Fractionµg/L100<100100
TPH C29-C36 Fractionµg/L50<50<50
TPH+C10 - C36 (Sum of total)µg/L <200150

I have the same issue and was wondering if it had been resolved.

ESdat has options for how Combined Compounds are calculated under:

Setup - Chemistry - Post Import Calcs and Combined Compounds.

For all non-detects users can select whether to show:

< and the sum of the detection values, or

an estimate based on a non-detect multiplier (which can be zero)

For a mix of detects and non-detects a non-detect multiplier is set for the non-detects (which can be zero).
