Not a whole column, SP doesn't handle that but you can have a much larger
end row, say 30000.

It means that I don't want web crawlers to harvest my email address, so I
disguise it.

can i get it to look at a whole column of data. Tried to adapt what you
sent
but falls over. Sorry but what do you mean by "remove nothere from the
email
address if mailing direct"

KL and Sandy Man helped with my first problem, time for my second

A b c d

120873 50183368 6 blank REL NMAT PRC SETC
120873 50183299 4 blank CLSD PRT NMAT PRC
122873 50185108 3 blank PCNF NMAT PRC SETC
122873 50178522 3 HUDS002277 TECO PCNF PRT NMAT
122873 50147658 5 HUDS003115 REL NMAT PRC SETC

I want to count only those records in column C with a 3 in and where a
blank
(null) exists in column D. I have pieced togther the following based
on
previous help, but doesn't work. I want the range to equal the
contents of
a
column because the data will vary on a month by month basis and I want
people
to simple paste their data into a sheet and it calculates everthing on
a
separate sheet.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!C1="1"),--(LEFT(Sheet1!D1,3)<"HUD*"))
