    sheesh shg, do you make these functions up as you go, then slip them into our excel when we are not looking?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Mathematics is the native language of the natural world. Just trying to become literate.
