Default Difference Between Highest And Lowest?

If I have a column of numbers from A1:A100 which is constantly being updated, what
formula would I need to put into cell A101 which could calculate the difference
between the highest and lowest numbers. Some cells might be blank, which I would
choose to ignore rather than be calculated as zero.

Thanks.

try A101+=MAX(A1:A100)-MIN(A1:A100)

This should do it

=MAX(A1:A100)-SMALL(A1:A100,COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,0)+1)
