You are correct; I should have said rows. In my file there were 1000 
(+/-) rows and each row had up to three "entries", not including the 
description in the first row.
For instance (without any formulas) in the following row I entered each 
amount in columns 2,3 & 4.

    | this was a transaction | 100.00 | 200.00 | 300.00|

So I considered this three entries. So actually there were 3,000 (+/-) 
entries.
