Okay great theory but I'm feeling especially dumb here ... (Hey, I
only write the thing - I never claimed to be able to USE it!) ... how
do I do it?

I've inserted a few cells in a few directions and ended up with this:

Date ----- Cat1 --- Cat2 --- Cat3 --- Cat4 --- Cat5 --- Cat6 --- Desc
   |      
<date1> - <amt1> - <desc1>
   | 
<date2> - <amt2> - <desc2>

How do I get <amt1> to link with Cat2?  Or <desc1> to link with Desc?
Etc.
