Default nested ifs not enough

Hi everyone

I have results in random days. This next formula works perfectly when i have
a maximum "hole" of 7 days. The problem is when i have gaps of more than 7
days.

E157=IF(D157=0;"";IF(D157-D156<D157;D157-D156;IF(D157-D155<D157;D157-D155;SE(D157-D154<D157;D157-D154;IF(D157-D153<D157;D157-D153;IF(D157-D152<D157;D157-D152;IF(D157-D151<D157;D157-D151;IF(D157-D150<D157;D157-D150;"ERROR"))))))))

The D column is the readings column. The first if tells me that if i dont
have any reading then no result will show up. However, if that´s not the
case, i want in column E current reading minus last reading (whenever that
may be).

I tried understanding VLOOKUP but it doesnt seem to help me.

thanks a lot
