Pam, Could you give us an example of a few of the items in your sheet? How is it structured? Are all the items in one column? Are the phrases enclosed in quotes? Is it one word per cell? Given a clearer idea of the situation, we'll be more likely to give you the right solution. Ray _____________ This email is from Ray Blake, Head of Software Design, GR Business Process Solutions.

What I have is a list of search terms used. I would like to tally these up into usable statistics/data to tell me what terms are being searched for most often and least, for example.
