          • just a question. Can i tweak this to draw a: vertical line across column 5 and a horizontal line across row 5 instead of the diagonal line, so i can use it in my next example. also the horizontal and vertical lines should start from the second element ie not include the top row and left column

          • @SamBluez Would you mind asking a separate, i.e. new question for that? ( I am going to bed and there are so many experts around who will help you.)

          • just a question. Can i tweak this to draw a: vertical line across column 5 and a horizontal line across row 5 instead of the diagonal line, so i can use it in my next example. also the horizontal and vertical lines should start from the second element ie not include the top row and left column

          • @SamBluez Would you mind asking a separate, i.e. new question for that? ( I am going to bed and there are so many experts around who will help you.)
