Thanks Linda. I had an idea for a formula that could calculate the row number in which the right data would be in a data collumn. So that goes out the window. In a way I'm glad this is the answer becauase I was spending a lot of time looking at cell reference syntax thinking that there HAS to be a way to do this. Turns out there isn't. I'll find another approach. Thanks. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
