I'm developing a flexitime spreadsheet and I'm calculating whether I'm over
or under my contractual hours for the week. If there's a time worked for
Monday, I want to use the contractual hours for Monday only to calculate the
cumulative balance. If there's a time worked for Tuesday, I want to sum the
contractual hours for Monday & Tuesday. If there's a time worked for
Wednesday, I want to sum the contractual hours for Monday thro Wednesday, etc.

I have this rather unwieldy nested IF statement and wonder if there's a
neater way?

=IF(J38="","",IF(J39="",U38,IF(J40="",SUM(U38:U39) ,IF(J41="",SUM(U38:U40),IF(J42="",SUM(U38:U41),IF( J43="",SUM(U38:U42),))))))

The hours worked are in the J column and the contractual hours in the U
column. Rows 38 to 42 represent Monday thro Friday.
