Hi
I realise now, that column is a formula, so it will never be blank.
Your formula in D must be
=C2-B2
Change it to
=IF(C2="",C2-B2)
Then there will be Nulls "" in the cells, not negative times, at the
Sumproduct should work

I gave that a try, & it still counts the lb. sign ####. When I run the
mouse
over column E a window appears and the messages is, dates and times that
are
negative or too lage to diplay as ###. maybe there is a way to set up the
formula to not count negative time or something like that. Or maybe I
could
go back to using column D with NOT(ISBLANK, and use a formula that
calculates
& IF D-C=between <0:10, and 0:10? what do you think? Possible?

Hi Dale
You don't need to use Not Isblank
You could just amend your first formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(LTC!$F$3:$F$192,4)=OTP!A8),--(LTC!$E$3:$E$192<=--"0:10"),--(LTC!$E$3:$E$192<""))

Obviously you don't need this in the second formula, as if the cells are
greater than 10 minutes, they cannot be blank.

So far this works in column B.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(LTC!$F$3:$F$192,4)=OTP!A8),--(LTC!$E$3:$E$192<=--"0:10"))


And this for column C.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(LTC!$F$3:$F$192,4)=OTP!A8),--(LTC!$E$3:$E$192=--"0:10"))


On sheet 3 column B This counts all the left nubers that match from
sheet
2,
then if the difference is more then 10 minutes it subtracts 1 from that
count
and places 1 in column C. I like the way it works, but it defeats the
purpose
of (NOT(ISBLANK(.
Is there a way to keep the (NOT(ISBLANK in the formula? (Notice I've
changed
the column that the entry info comes from). Also column E in sheet 2 is
set
up to - the difference from D & C,(=D-C). So it has entry's of ###
until
the
enrty is made in D.

0-10,

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet3!$E$2:$E$20<""),--(LEFT(Sheet3!$F$2:$F$20,LEN($A2))=$A2),--(Sheet3!$E$2:$E$20<=--"0:10"))

10

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet3!$E$2:$E$20<""),--(LEFT(Sheet3!$F$2:$F$20,LEN($A2))=$A2),--(Sheet3!$E$2:$E$20--"0:10"))

and just copy down.

Example sheet 3 On Time Performance

A B C


Route 0-10 +10

535S 1 1
401S 1
535S 0
511S 0
404n 0
404s 0



Example sheet 2

A B C D E
F


Run Vehicle Time Actual Diff Schedule

924 0 4:48 4:59 0:11 535S0448
208 0 5:13 5:14 0:01 401S0459
904 0 5:18 5:20 0:02 535S0518
908 0 5:25 511S0518


I'm using sheet 3 to record the on time performance according to the
scheduled time on sheet 2.
Sheet 2 is to record the times vehicles pass a specific location.
Column C
is a set time, the vehicles are not allowed to pass until that time
or
later.
Column D is used to enter the actual time the vehicle's pass.
Column E on sheet 2 is set =D-C to record the difference of set time
and
actual time they pass. If the actual time the vehicle's pass is
within
0
thru
10 minutes of the set time I record this in sheet 3 column B. If the
actual
time the vehicle's pass is greater than 10 minutes I record this on
sheet
3,
column C.
I'm trying to have sheet 3 linked to sheet 2 so when the vehicle's
pass
and
I enter the time on sheet 2 column D, sheet 3 will do the count from
that
entry, and place the count in the proper column.

There is more info on this in my other post "Tracking sheet Help"

hope this makes sence. Also my time format is set to, Time 13:30
