So the user entered some data and a series of calculations was done by parsing the data rearranging them and assigning values.

    I'm not sure that Excel is the best platform for this as it seems to require some looping coding at some point. And I'm not sure how well you can do looping in Excel VBA. The platform I had used was FoxPro.

    I would recommend using Access.

    Occult Sciences... I think I feel an oxymoron joke coming on...

    Yes, I missed that. Loops are fine in Excel... expecially small ones like this would most likely be.

    Ok, well this is enough to get him started I suppose.

    No problem at all if it wastes your time. Thanks for your help so far.

    So what is this all about?

    You have to have all that data in that specific format? Or are you just looking for randomized set of the second data?
