Bruce,

Yes I got that and did reply - that helped a lot
Just figuring out how to sort these where they sub-total on date received

i.e.

Clt            Name                             Starting      Ending
01234      Clt Name                         00010        00011
01235      Clt Name                         00250        00250
                Total Rec'd 06/01/20       3

01234       Clt Name                       00012         00012
01235       Clt Name                       00251         00251
                 Total Rec'd 06/05/20     2

I got the starting and ending number working thanks to you example
