    Superlative. As usual, you make a highly complex and conditional task look simple and straightforward by precisely covering key points. I am now not afraid to try using this method 🙂

    Any time frame on your part 2 of pivot tables article Jeff ? I was thinking of drafting up a complementary article but wanted to leave you to have a complete say first ...

    Thanks for the compliment, Ben... especially on such a controversial method.

    Shifting gears and thank you for your interest, Part 2 of the Pivot tables article was actually published a while back and 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.
