Hi Ron,

Thanks for the reply, it is bit beyond my knowledge of functions but I am
going to work through it to try and understand what the function does but it
may take me some time.

Cheers
Chieflx


The routine basically looks at the last digit (or two if it is in the "teens")
and figures out what the ordinal suffix should be. It then uses that to
construct an appropriate number format for the cell.
