Hi dxider,

I started afresh and got it working now. It might have been the sequence of how I did things before. Yes I could remove the Restricted 6? and enter numbers, makes the list longer but does that really solve anything? Like if the code is matching Restricted and Restricted ??, it won't matter whether Restricted ?? is shown in Col A as Restricted 6? or Restricted 67, it'll still pick up two different classes: Restricted and Restricted 6?/7.

It's an innovative solution nonetheless and I appreciate your help.

Thankyou
