I don't see anything wrong with Mike's coding. It is, as you say in the

Using values rather than intrinsic constants does not mean you are
knowledgeable and cool. It means you are a mid level coder who hasn't
figured out others have to read your code and understand it easily.

Now, see how it feels when someone is rude to you?

David,
I did not call the poster names, nor in any other way denigrate him.
My factually commenting on someone's code was not rude.
It called attention to what I perceived as incomplete logic.
I understand the poster was not aware of having to include the Else
portion. He's learning, just as you and I have, a little bit at a
time.

You mention that his basic coding structure is better than mine.
It is not, nor has it ever been, my intention to show how good a coder
I am, but only to help answer the asked question. I kept my direct
answer in the same If.. Then style the poster did so that HE could
understand the reply.
I also suggested conditional formatting. There was no need to go
further in my reply.

Frankly, David, I would have been more impressed had you just answered
the poster directly with your method of how to make his code work,
rather than responding to me with whatever your perception of my reply
was.
I'm sure Mike is a big boy. If I offended him I'm sure he would have
let me know. Offending posters is not my intention.

Have a good day.
