The optimal solution, of course, is to not have mixed data types, just as you wouldn't be able to do with an Access database, for example. The fact you're getting times in a 'middle initial' field really does suggest there are some problems with the data in that field. Fixing that would have obviated the need for any workarounds.

Renaming the sheets was quite unnecessary and is not what the Tips thread suggested.
