Hi Hilmar

Forgive me for approaching you direct but I'm so tired now and I need to get this done before goiig on holiday. As you can see, Sergey's already given me some advice but, as you're the excel auto guru (:-) I thought of going straight to you, just in case you haven't noticed this post.

Cheers

Terry

OK

3) I need to sub-total and total some columns. Is there a way to automate that?

Sad because the cursor fits my report, and in the report I've used report vars for the totals, now it seems I need to do it all again in the s/s.

4) Nice to slot a heading row in saying what dates etc.

Tired, so very tired now ....
