Hope this helps

Tony,

The method suggested by Trevor seems to be simple and straightforward. I'd recommend it over what I had in mind.

Adding identifying numbers to dimensions is not just good practice, it's an excellent idea. Using shops often do this for creating inspection reports, and the grid location data is something additional, rather than primary for this purpose.

Your users will bless you for saving them the work !

Best regards,

Jim
