My data tables sometimes contain numbers, sometimes text, so it has to be flexible enough to look only at the addresses and return any cell value of the intersection (variables change with every download). Typically the downloads I work with have many more columns and rows than I need and I turn them into useful tables by eliminating the unused through formulas. Thank you for your time and your continuing help. John -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
