Move data?
THANKS for your help
Since these columns are text only I will stay with zero values for the whole column but will keep your instructions(formula) just in case. thanks, L. "Gord Dibben" gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ... Depends upon your needs. There may be cases when the value is a real 0 and you want to see if it is. Otherwise, no harm in unchecking zero values. Gord On Mon, 23 Jan 2006 17:11:13 -0600, "L." wrote: Unchecking zero values did it. In your opinion, which suggestion should I use. OR is it a "toss-up"?

Move data?
Gord,
If you're still there, have a problem. I have entered the formula (=January 2006'!I3, ='Febuary 2006'!I3, etc etc etc ) in each of the monthly columns on the Summary sheet. Dragged down the 70 rows and everything worked great. Everything EXCEPT March.^!^@!@! When I enter ='March 2006'!I3 that is exactly what shows up in the column. I'm guessing it's picking up the fomula as text only. I've checked settings and they appear same as other monthly columns. Not sure what to do. L.

Not sure WHY but I fixed problem.
I changed cell format to "general" and then back to "text" and it's working, now. L. "L." wrote in message ... Gord, If you're still there, have a problem.
