    Re: Using Calc.

    I agree, if you could spell out exactly what it is you're trying to
    do. Excel or Calc will usually give an error at any kind of circular
    reference in a spreadsheet. You might need to get grips with Visual
    Basic for Applications (VBA) or OpenOffice Basic to accomplish the
    task.

    that there are plenty of people on NavList who can help.
