Unfortunately, Dana, I've had to move your post to the Miscellaneous Questions Forum. An Excel Forum may be something that the Admins should look into in the near future, but for now, this is the best that we can do.

My Excel skills are so rusty that I can not be of assistance writing a loop.
I hope that someone comes along that will be able to help you out.

Thanks for joining.
