Martin, Just a small change. Put the result in sheet 2 and keep the sheet 1 as is. I mean, when we press the "consolidate" button in sheet 1, the result should shows up in Sheet 2 keeping the original in sheet 1.

Hi Martin, You are indeed a very learned person. I am delving to VBA for Applications in support of Excel and Access. Can you suggest a good book on VBA which has examples and code that can be downloaded instead of typing it.

Thanks.

I don't have any actual advice about that since I'm basically a self-taught programmer and the last language I learned from a book was BASIC back in the 70's. It was in pre-web dark-ages days so it was an actual book:) I do know however that if you search for VBA tutorial that you'll get a lot of hits. If you run into things you don't understand I'll be happy to answer a couple of questions here and/or you can ask new questions and a lot of us will be happy to help.
