    If you don't know a Table or how to work with please search this site. You will find a really good article published by Jeff Moden which explains the Tally table and how to use it for requirements like this.

    Thanks for the plug, Flo. 🙂 The article on what a Tally table is and how it replaces a loop in many cases, can be found at the following URL...

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
