[QUOTE="Heretic Apostate, post: 895977, member: 696"] Dang it, I was SO trying to make it fit onto one 3.5" disk. I'm up to 2.34MB (including all the data, so it'll be probably 500kb smaller when I empty it). *sigh* Maybe zipping it will remove some of the size? How much compression does zipping a spreadsheet usually get? *********** Okay, an update, before I take a break to clear my mind. :) Somehow, I don't know why, but I thought that sumif required that it be on the same page as the data? I cut-and-pasted the summary table onto its own page (which they're used to), and the sumifs still work. Oh well, that saves about 1320 calculations, woo hoo! I need to set up the macro for the advanced filters for the specifics table. Shouldn't be too hard, as I have the criteria already set up, and I can copy the format from the first eight adv. filters. Same thing for the two detail tables. I need to bring in the macros for autofilter/set print area/printing from the old spreadsheet for the summary (regular and TANF versions), specifics, and both of the detail tables. I need to create a "Clear All" macro, to set the spreadsheet up for the next case. And I need to bring in the "Export Data" (basically, open a new worksheet, and paste in the raw data and corrected dates; when you have to research a ton of dates for a person, you REALLY want to save them for next time) from the old spreadsheet. I should easily have this done within a couple days (since I'm taking it easy :) ). Thanks, guys! I'll yank your examples for my macros. Can y'all recommend an easily-obtainable visual basic book (like one I can check out from the library)? I'm not great at VB (I'm beyond the "monkey see/monkey do" of just recording macros; I can actually generally go in and figure out what the macro did, and adapt and edit it to my needs), and I'd like to get better.
