Give the REPT Repeat function a try, I think it will fulfill your needs nicely.

You got your answers, but here's an alternative that I like:
=REPT(REPT(CHAR(134),4)&" ",INT(A1/5))&REPT("|",MOD(A1,5)) With 7 in A1, you'll see something like: †††† || (nice if you're using Arial--not sure how it'll show up in the newsgroup, though.) cvgairport wrote: Ok, here's a toughie.
