Answer
It's not totally clear from the example given how the data is laid out - is it possible to see a sample file (my email is aidan.heritage@virgin.net) - I am thinking that it is either going to be a pivot table, or possibly VBA but cannot be certain from the layout AllExperts presents me with in this typed form.
