sometimes it can make sense - for example if content is "Nothing" and it applies to many cells? Anyway I think the master cell in this discussion is a type of analogy to help understand the problem - it is not really proposed as the solution. The real point is that the spreadsheet is sparsely populated, with some content possibly repeated many times. Using some other analogies, the problem could be similar to text file compression, or like using pointers in C++? I have no idea about the solution - it is like astrophysics to me ;) but I do think the principle might be: don't store a thing more than once, instead store some information about where the thing occurs. jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
