    Whoaaa. Well, this is certainly precisely what the judge had asked for, Lita. I don't even want to ask how long this must have taken you to do. Of course, being the professional you are, probably not as long as I might have imagined. Still, I am impressed.

    I'm gonna need a minute to get this. The first line down I get, the rest of it, call me dumb but, I know it's a love thang, I just haven't quite figured out the formula. We'll just leave it at that. I do know I like the uniqueness of this writing.

    WOW this is honestly one of my favorites by you, who would have thought by using Excel you could make such a masterpiece?? This had my mind in a frenzy, its a nice twist from the regular love poems. I really wouldn't have thought about it, I think that you are very intelligent and clever.

    Love ya auntie hope you are doing well, you should have this contest in the bag!!

    In my Ausy way I will say I am gobsmacked..
    Would it take some yrs for me to work out how much in love I am? or why,
    " Formulas are the design in which you let the purpose manifest, mm I think I did that once =1
    I see Marriage
    You are a mindful of mystery here, fun to read in half a dozen ways.
    we all want to solve it.

      How nice of you to read and your comments are very kind. I just finished talking with my sister Collette who lives in OZ, so I have heard the expression before! This was more fun to do than the usual Excel work, although when I am designing a new display to examine some type of information about the research we do, that is creative in another way. Thanks again! Lita

    Extremely clever!

    It can be read both ways! Goodness me you have worked a fine puzzle of love here in spreadsheet format. I don't understand the relationship of the numbers though and why you chose those numbers, would love the explanation for it. A fantastic achievement...alby

      I THINK they are all prime numbers, that is, they can't be divided by any number except 1 and their own number. Then I "added" them up using the Excel formula (hum.. didn't show that, I'll go back and put that in) which resulted (again, I think!) in another prime number == love isn't divisible...Thanks for your kind comments. I did work on it quite a while, and probably will continue to work on it, or something like it... it was fun, at least more than regular Excel work! (lol, but it's a job, so I'm not complaining!)

        Excellent idea! I just knew there would be a justifiable reason for these numbers. Your explanation is great, just as the idea is, that prime numbers (like love) are not divisible...or is it I wonder? pondering that...alby

    Explicit Tact

    Ingenuity at its "prime-rate"? As soon as I saw this I knew I had to read both ways. An analytical mind that uses their mind to determine if the heart should be allowed its freedom. Some additional 'adjustment' would pay the interest on this principal. thanks for entering and best wishes with the final results!

      Interest was added to the initial calculations; adjustments resulted in withdrawals and additions. Please check the final balance for any further errors. Lita

      Thank you so much -- I have just spent a week working on Excel sheets, moving data from one workbook to another, and writing rather simple formulas to make things add up, or to get the "average" -- I guess the format just stuck in my mind LOL -- one might have to worry about that!!

        lolol a uniquely clever approach. a week of working in excel would likely drain the creativity out of me. but you have applied it.
