I was looking for the same answer as the original questioner, and I was shocked by the snide, unhelpful answers. You must feel compelled to demonstrate your superiority. I mean, if somebody has an honest request for help (such as, in this case: the user had tried to use code found on the web, but was getting an answer he/she didn't understand), then either try to help him out, or don't answer. Your aggressive, repulsive tone didn't help in any way, so why waste your time? You may reign supreme in your role as an Excel guru, but try remembering that other people are actual human beings, and, being human, expect a certain built-in level of grace and courtesy from other human beings.
