This means it's time to get my head around custom functions! Meanwhile, ValueCount is great, don't know why I didn't spot it. Now I have the tools I need...
Are you sure custom functions easier than script?? I'd rather not include the Replace in the function, but have it make a new field, then Replace with the contents of the new field when I'm completely happy!
