Default Excel 2002 : How to deduct the first and last number ?

It looks like your data is sorted by Column A (Truck Number), in
ascending order. If so, maybe...

E2, copied down:

=IF((D2="")*(D3=""),INDEX($D$2:D2,MATCH(A2,$A$2:A2 )-1)-INDEX($D$2:D2,MATC
H(A2,$A$2:A2,0)),"")

It assumes that there is in fact a blank row between different truck
numbers, as you've indicated.

Hope this helps!

Dear Sir,

1,499.00
=(D19-D15)


There is a blank between different truch number, may I know what formula I
must enter at E2 and copy downwards to get the answers at E6, E9 and E13 ?

These answers are the last meter reading minus the first meter reading of
the same truck.

I try using formula : IF(A2=A3,"",D2-VLOOKUP(A2,A$2:D$19,4,FALSE)), but it
does not work.


Thanks
