Diana, Here is one possibility.

If every single digit is always represented at least once, then you could simplify the above pattern to {{_,_,__}..} Carl Woll "Diana" <diana53xiii at earthlink.remove13.net> wrote in message news:c5qj8m$fvs$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Hi math folks, > > I have a 24 - 455 table.
