@BobBridges Thank you! Yes, it works this time around! Looks like a lot more script was needed that I definitely will need to study in the morning bc it looks pretty complex!

I wanted you to know, I did have the preceding quote in there initially (I think on the 53 batch tab) but, when I saw it didn't give the desired result all the way through, I took it back out -- to demonstrate how -- if the wrong formula was copy/paste applied, then the Julian picked up would be inaccurate. I guess I should have left a sheet in tact showing it was there at one point =-(

Heading to bed and will study the details in the morning to walk through the steps and will let you know if I'm stuck on the acquiring wisdom part - which you're right -- LEARNING something from the pain is important and certainly very much appreciated.
