Thanks for the questions. More info on those:

1. This data in columns A:D is being copied into this worksheet from
another excel report (a macro int he same module does the copying). The
parent excel worksheet is generated daily by our archaic database
program.

2. The quotes are just for my message - they dont appear in the actual
text.

please feel free to ask for more info, if you have more questions. I
really appreciate your time and consideration.

Thanks,

Joe.
