Yeah, that is okay.

What I mean by 20 is if the no. of calls extend to 20. My earlier list

goes
up to 10 only. So rather than extending my list to, say, 6500, I just

want
to key in 20 and get the result "4". Likewise, if I key in "18", I should
get "3".

And thanks for the MOD formula. I actually know how to use it already but
my formula is not as simple as checking for multiples of 5. I'll have to
e-mail you my spreadsheet to explain the formula! Can I e-mail it to

you??

Melissa,

You can easily test if it is a multiple of 5

=IF(MOD(A1,5)=0,"Y","")

but what do you mean by putting 20 in, do you then want to also test

that
the value is <= 20,. so 25 would not show a Y? If so, then use

=IF(AND(A1<=B1,MOD(A1,5)=0),"Y","")

Example Scenario: where my formula tests whether the value in column A

equals
a multiple of 5. The result is displayed in column B.
Call No. Meet Formula?
1
2
3
4
5 Y
6
7
8
9
10 Y
Total 2

So, from the list above, I know that the 5th and 10th call will meet

the
formula.

Problem:
My formula is a lot more complicated than just checking for multiples

of 5
and I have to run the formula per row (it will be a v long explanation

if
you
wanna know why). Is there a way such that I just enter "20" in one

cell
and
the formula gives me a result of "5, 10, 15, 20" (using the multiple

of 5
example)?

I wish I can share my spreadsheet with the formula with an expert.

Any
volunteers?
