Trying to figure out what you want, I screwed up the first formula by
putting in ABS and forgot to chang it back.

You apparently, based on your multiposts of similar messages to misc and
worksheet.functions, want A3-A2, A4-A3, etc

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A50-A1:A490)*(A1:A49<"")*(A2:A50<""))

will give you the count

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A50-A1:A490)*(A1:A49<"")*(A2:A50<"")*(A1:A49-A2:A50))

will give you the sum of the positive differences.

This includes A2-A1, if you don't want that then adjust the formula as
follows:

=SUMPRODUCT((A3:A50-A2:A490)*(A3:A50<"")*(A2:A49<""))

both A2-A3 and A3-A2 can not be 0. I assumed you meant A2-A30,
A3-A40,
A4 - A50, etc.

so you would get a count of all cases where there was a decrease from one
cell to the next.

=SUMPRODUCT((abs(A1:A49-A2:A50)0)*(A1:A49<"")*(A2:A50<""))

will give you the count

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A49-A2:A500)*(A1:A49<"")*(A2:A50<"")*(A1:A49-A2:A50))
will give you the sum of the decreased amounts.

I get 11 instances with a sum of 4.82

How can I make Excell count the difference between
subsequent rows and do two things

Data at the end

1. Tell me how many times the value as a result of
subtraction (A2-A3, A3-A2, etc) was 0
2. What is the Sum of those 0

Expected result: Based on this data there were 5 instances
where the vaule was 0 and the sum is $$$

Thanks
