Thanks for this! Too easy! However my sample date is unfortunately not the real life. The name of the persons are different. So the "contains person" will not work for me... Any other suggestions for this?

This is briljant. I didn't even know that this formula existed! In fact what happens is the count of the white spaces before the "client name"? And based on this you have a "unique" ID for the client.

Correct - the white spaces before client is always the case. Thanks for your help!!
