    It looks like both the first and the second spreadsheet unfortunately. but the second spreadsheet is a full example of the data which should include the data from the first list? The codes (column A) should be consistent but the descriptions (column B) can be changed by the staff, even though they are not supposed to! In spreadsheet 1 I swapped the description and code columns around and forgot i had done so! Sorry!!

    So are you saying the bottom table in Message #10 is your actual layout? If so, where do the numbers in Column F come from? If you say the last digit (which is how it is in the top table), then where did the number in Column E come from?
