Yes, I have been wondering about the gender of Sandy. I do know that the name Sandy can be for both, same as Terry, Robin, Sam, ..... same as [E]lectronic [PIN] [N]o. can be odd or even.

The first time I saw the name "Sandy," I was fixated on "female." Then one day, I said to myself: Sandy is probably male. When I posted, I totally forgot about that. You know how first impression sticks ...... If Sandy doesn't tell us, we'll never find out; and we'll assume Sandy is a male.

Sandy is a much used shorten form of the name Alexander...... <<

I didn't know that. Hey, I even learn about names on this board. Great!! One time, I learned a Japanese phrase from another board and of course Welsh from this board.

which led Sandy to do hers
I may be entirely wrong, but I believe Sandy to be male and not female.
Sandy is a much used shorten form of the name Alexander, certainly in
Scotland, which (proudly) is Sandy's home.

I started a thread with a casual comment on COUNTIF and blank and zero.
Then I did more tests which led Sandy to do hers and discover that
according to COUNTIF

"" = Blank but Blank < ""

Roger confirmed the finding by doing a detailed and interesting test
using various versions of Excel (starting from 97).

Kudos to both of them. Since we have spent quite a bit of time in this
investigation, I want to share our "discovery" with all. So, I hereby
invite everyone to take a look at the experiment.
