Stefi --

Thanks for the formula... that helped me a lot.

One thing I did find, though, and I can't stress enough that I'm just trying
to help Paul by pointing this out, but there was an innocent typo in the
COUNTIF from the post. [it could be that it's not a typo and I'm just not
entirely sure I know exactly what I'm doing... just trying to learn what I
can from here.

Anyway, I took your formula and played around with it for awhile, learning a
lot in the process, then figured why I was getting an error. The formula
from the original post:
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!B:B;A1)

the formula I got to work:
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!B:B,A1)


[Essentially, all that yammering to say that mine only worked with a comma
in front of A1, whereas yours had a semi-colon. So, just something to try
out.


Bottom line though, thanks a bunch... I got a lot out of it!
