Aladin,
Thanks for letting me know that was intentional. It took some experimenting, but now I see your point. Brew - Aladin's is more robust. By taking out the "+1" and adjusting the reference inside of Column() it makes the formula susceptible to error if one inserts a column between EV and EW or if one selects the cells and drags them rightwards. Aladin's formula does not suffer the same weakness.
