Your post is strange.

From one side, it requests to use some Table.

From the other side, the Table is not provided.

I can easy solve the problem without using any Table, but then my solution will not follow your instruction.


My advise to you is to read what you post and to think about it, at least 30 seconds or 1 minute.
