I have proofed that - and it seems to be so! That could be the reason 
for different results - in fact the data I investigated were from a day 
with a couple of unknow data in the 300 and 1800 rra.

Did that mean that even the RRA with the large pdp_per_row (288) stores 
the data for the 288 steps and computes then the new row for the RRA? If 
so what would be the divisor for the average computing if some data 
failing (e.g. 2 steps fails -> 286 data points available all with the 
same value; Question: average = (286*x)/288 or (286*x)/286 )?

Ok, make sense.

Thank You so far
