THANK YOU. In addition to this, how would I apply the same principal to
dates. Ie if I have a date on a worksheet styled 01/07/08, how can I
CONCATENATE/VLOOKUP to change this to 1 July 2008 ?????

...thanks

Help.... when using the above formula, how can I transfer figures from
another spreadsheet without losing the decimal places . ie a figure of 125.40
transfers as 125.4 and 123.00 transfers as 123.

Thanking you in advance.
