Simple formula that I am thinking too hard about....subtracting!
I am trying to track weight loss for 4 friends over 13 weeks. (Cells B3-B15,
C, D, E) B17 is where I want my results. What formula do I need? I think I'm thinking about it too much! |

so, do you want to see weight loss between each interval, or just at the end?
If just at the end, you really don't need to know each week, just beginning and end. If you want a weekly amount, I would insert a column to the right starting with.. =B3-B4. copy to bottom and you have your interval amounts. Then, sum at bottom for total.

That would work too, I was just hoping to get a running total of all weight
lost per person. "Sean Timmons" wrote: so, do you want to see weight loss between each interval, or just at the end?

=B3-INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,B$1:B $15),2))
Will get the start - the last weight entered. That work? "KatJones" wrote: That would work too, I was just hoping to get a running total of all weight lost per person.

Try this formula: =B3-INDEX(B1:B15,MAX((B1:B15<"")*ROW(B1:B15))) Note: This is an array formula that must be confirmed by CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER rather than just ENTER. Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |

Hey folks, I'm reading this and thinking I must be missing something. It
seems to me that you would only need the formula below copied down to give a running total of weight loss. With A3 being the starting weight. =$A$3-A3 "KatJones" wrote: That would work too, I was just hoping to get a running total of all weight lost per person.
