Words cannot express my gratitude...
Cheers

Its allowed in the Rules..... Although I'm fairly sure you could do that one without using 17...
Hmmm...

I congratulate you on reworking a mess by someone who found simple mathematics completely impossible that day
Note. the brackets were used to make it look more intelligent
