Yes.. that’s what I need….I needed to add a D4+7 in the formula on the Completion Pivot sheet to make the report work…but exactly what I need.
Thanks very much. Like I said, I know enough about Excel to know that I don’t know enough.

I had a similar issue.
Here is the fix that I posted in a different thread,

“If you remove BCMWLCPL.CPL from the C:/Windows/System32 folder, the control panel will not crash. This file is the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility.
If you experience a similar issue, I suggest you move the file BCMWLCPL.CPL to another location and edit the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility shortcut provided in your Start Menu to point to the new location.”

I moved the .cpl file in question to a folder I have called “tweaks” and pointed the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility to the new location. Simply deleting the .cpl file from System32 works as well, and causes no problems, other than not being able to use the Dell WLAN Utility.

Seems like a .cpl conflict between a MS and Dell file extension.

A long overdue “feature” LOL

I believe it’s resolved. I found this and it works.

Gerald,

It happens on the first instance of invoking CP….generally far into a session.
I do not run Defrag automatically.
Nothing in startup is out of the ordinary.
Laptop has done this since day one. 4 GB of RAM installed and no other problems.

I’m chasing down some posts about the Dell WLAN being the culprit, but no resolution yet.

Great tweak for the boot time, Ted.
Really sped things up.
