    Thanks Peter, it makes sense that limiting the number of rows in the tally table makes it faster. I'm just surprised the "Where len(value) <= tally.N" did not make it faster, but I guess this is ok.

    By the way, thanks for the help all, I've been able to identify the weird characters in the table, and we'll choose which character we do not want anymore.

    Thanks again,

    Lowell's code does that correctly.

    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.
