Max,

Thank you very much for the great reply. I've just set up the sheets as you
instructed, and it all looks very promising. I don't have the time right
now to experiment with it, but I should be able to do so within the next
couple days and will then let you know for sure how it works out.

I'm pretty sure I have correctly reconstructed your worksheets, but if the
offer is still open I'll take you up on the offer to send a sample book,
which you can send to rschwarz<atnetins<dotnet. Thanks again.

Bob

Put in R1: =COUNTIF($B$2:$Q$17,COLUMN(A1))
Copy across to S2

R1 gives the total of all the "1"s,
S2 gives the total of all the "2"s

Typos, sorry:

In the above, S2 should read as S1
