Hi Hector,
I am by no means a power user of VBA but I do have some understanding of it.
However, having said that your xl-4 macro language makes no sense to me what
so ever. You solution is written like a formula? Please be more explicit, I
would like to be able to understand what you are trying to communicate.

regards
Tanya

hi, Tanya !

Thank you for your workings, unfortunately it didn't work.
I am using Excel 2003 and have all the add-in's loaded.
I've never heard of the function 'evaluate' ?

sorry if I have not been clear enough

- 'evaluate' is from the old fashion xl-4 macro language (still usable in names)

- perhaps when you have a little more time to (spend in) follow the previous post steps -?-
(it's working for me) ;)

if any doubts (or further information)... would you please comment ?
regards,
hector.
