What does the Era Calculator do? I wanted to have a way to enter the Era settings (in the SETUP screen) so that my league got results that were statistically accurate (within a given percentage) to the actual season being played. The Era calculator does the following things:

Automatically summarizes and provides league totals. This shows how far off or exact your results are to the real life year being simulated.
Automatically adjust Era settings based on results of the previous year. I enjoyed using the Era settings that were produced in various spreadsheets and web pages that were available. These settings got me in the near real results, but the settings published are generic ratings (produced by calculations of real stats). The Era calculator determines how the league produced in the previous year. It uses percentages, but I'll give you an example using stats. Lets say that in the previous year, your league hit 800 homeruns. The Era calculator determines that in the next year, your league needs to hit 850 homeruns. It determines the pct increase in HRs from the previous year and changes your Era settings (by a proportional percentage .... 850 divided by 800... and decreases your Era settings for the new year by that same proportional percentage). This way, regardless of the players in your league, the Era settings will make them play at a level nearly equal to the real life year you are simming. Even if you wanted (for some reason) to have a league of todays players and you want to put them back into the deadball era, the Era calculator will cause results to still be in equal proportion to the deadball year you are recreating.
Automatically adjust next seasons stats to make up for the amount of differences in the previous year simmed. For example, in year one your league should hit 800 homeruns and in year 2 your league should hit 814 homeruns. If you sim Year 1 and your league hits 790 homeruns, the Era calculator will subtract 790 from 800 and take the "unhit" 10 homeruns and add it to the next years homeruns so that your league will attempt to simulate hitting 824 homeruns (814 plus the 10 homerun adjustment).
Era calculator gives you the opportunity to replay a year if the statitistics fall outside of an acceptable percentage. It lists each of the offensive categories that can be adjusted and shows a percentage for each category based on how far off your results were. If your league should hit 100 triples but actually hits 103, it will show a 1.03 meaning that you hit 3% to many triples (5% differences will result in a warning). You then have two choices, either replay the year again and let the Era calculator give you new adjusted settings to get you closer to the real life results, or go onto the next year and (using the 103 triples example) will subtract the excess 3 triples from the next season when determining the settings for the next year.

Probably better to ask this in the dynasty forum or a PM to someone who plays alot of historicals.
