Max, I'm wondering if you did a full application test on this ..

Obviously not g .

Btw, do you do full testing on detailed posts
like this one before you respond ?

6 sheets with 65536 rows of data, 3000 rows of lookup values
and 6 columns of formulas.
What kind of calc time did that take?

Ok, I just did that, on my laptop (3 year old IBM T30) Excel 97:
Took about 3 mins to fill the formulas & complete calc.

Perhaps you would like to indicate what other pre-emptive caveats
should have been written in my suggestion ?

Like always, it was only a suggestion for the OP to try out.

And nothing is ever stated in my posts that precludes
any others from posting other, possibly better suggestions
