Hi, Jay,

It's the actual syntax of the nesting I'm interested in.  I've learned 
the syntax varies from one to another, and Calc seems to be slightly 
different than Excel, which I used years ago.

Trying to avoid a lot of blind trial and error.   LOL

As for the number of levels, I used to know a guy who hated Excel 
because there was a nesting limit.  But he loved Quattro Pro because 
there were no nesting level limits.
