Thank you for the suggestion, but Excel does not like the first 5 in the
formula - it always proposes correcting the formula by multiplying. I
also tried to put a comma after the first set of parenthesis but then I
get a to many arguments for this function error. Please advise.

Thanks in advance!
I don't know what happens on this board. It doesn't like fromulae.
Before the first 5, place a less than sign (shifted comma)
