This should work...

=IF(MOD(J9,7)=0,0,J9-IF(J9<=7,0,D21))

Hi gang,
my head is spinning around...what would be the best way to write this one?
In cell D20:

IF J9<7,D20=J9
IF J9=7,D20=0
IF J97<14,D20=J9-D21
IF J9=14, D20=0
IF J914<28,D20=J9-D21
IF J9=28, D20=0
IF J928<42,D20=J9-D21
IF J9=42, D20=0
IF J942<56, D20=J9-D21

thanks in advance!
