i find help rather unhelpful at times too.The best way to learn about
functions is to insert a function,then look at the help for THAT
function.Keep an eye on this forum copy examples and try them out on your own
shets....you need to have a requirement for the function though otherwise its
all pretty absract

Every one has been very helpful with my problems for which I am very
thankful. I would like to learn more about writing formulas and functions.
For some reason I can't seem to get answers from my help files. I may be
asking the wrong questions. Anyway help on this would be appreciated. Thanks
