Problem solved - BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY!!
I copied the formulae that you said worked for you into a fresh Excel
workbook and it indeed did work.
Then I copied that cell back into my original workbook replacing the
original formula and .... it worked.
Got me stumped! But now I can continue my work and thanks to all who
helped, Bernard, Sandy, Bob, Ron and Martin P.
