OK, so now my question gets more complicated... :-) 1. I have a list of approximately 12 names. 2. I want to quickly be able to select anywhere from 1 to 6 random names and perform a calculation based on which names are selected (using vlookup). 3. I then require the ability to quickly de-select and select names at random. Is there a way to accomplish this? How hard is it (and is it possible) to create checkboxes or some other rapid boolean selection process? Hence, my current method utilizing a drop-down list... Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Right now I'm using vmware-xp-excel, but I'd love to be able to just use gnumeric in linux! :-) Thanks! -Steve. -- Ubuntu :: Linux for Human Beings :: ubuntulinux.org _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
