Yes, it will. There is no restriction on your posting a thread. You may not, however, post links until you have made 10 posts here. If you need to post a workbook, then use the attachment facility. Please try again.

hmmmm.. there seems to be some controversy in that statement, however you did answer my question! so the goal is 10! man that's a lot of posts in order to ask my question i cant find anywhere on the internet.
There is no controversy - please read the forum's rules. You do not need to post a link - post an attachment instead.
In a new thread...
Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? However, please give us an indication of the approximate number of rows of data you want the solution to work with (100, 1000, 100,000 or whatever). Please don't attach a picture of an Excel sheet (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).
1. It does NOT have to be your real sheet - mock up a SAMPLE if you need to. But not 1000's of rows!!! It makes manual checking so tedious. Whatever you do... make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!
2. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
3. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).
4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

And Happy new year back at you.
