I still don't understand what answer you want. Give a complete example of
the desired result.

no, i mean each month has a serparate cell. when the next month
starts,
then
the following cell will count up how many names in the list and the
previous
month, that cell will keep the amount it had when true.

Hi

In this function, i would like the cell to look at the current year
and
month. if this is the current month and year, eg may2006, if true,
add
up
a
list of names, if false eg mar 2006, keep the total that was counted
when
true.

so the funtion needs to save the number counted when true and then
keep
it
for when the junction is false.

i have tried to do this without success. can anyone help?

thanks
