Don,
You would think...I don't like the onboard help, but I did Google it and
looked for sometime by myself. In retrospect, there's no "one function"
that works.
Neither the LOOKUP or the MATCH give the result I needed. Rajan's
adaptation is simple and does what I need. I just thought there would be
ONE function that fit the bill.
Thanks for the time.
Robb
