My reply to your original post suggested 1 possible approach for "something 
like it"!

In reference to my suggestion to pass an index value, the function would 
process that via a Select Case struct to return the desired format from a 
single function.

I'm a big fan of developing reusable code! That said, this approach will work 
in any programming language, including those that support overloading. 
Adversely, code written in languages that support overloading will need to be 
re-written to be usable in those (like VB_) that don't support it.
