That's it!!
Now that you quote authors I recognize it.
Thanks so much. I knew I could count on our collective wisdom.

Subject: [SERIALST] Excel function
Colleagues,
A few years ago I ran across a procedure whery by one could compare
lists in Excel. A formula containing the word "Trim" would help in
identifying duplicates.
I sometimes compare lists using different colored cells, but it requires
reading through the list and the "Trim" procedure generates a note in a
separate column.
This was outlined in appendix C of a book on electronic resources (I
think) and I cannot remember the title.
If someone has that procedure handy or could point me to the book, I
would be most grateful.
Thanks,
Mary
