CONSO... Thanks...

If you say it can solve a knotty problem like this then I'll look at it but right now I have other stuff to do (4 Bookcases for my wife's books) and I have spent over two weeks on this already. I have always been impressed by MS Excel and if the add-on will work on this I'll try it because doing it the way I have been doing it is painstaking in the extreme and at one stage with all the numbers I thought I was going blind ! A case of MEGO times ten ....
