Hi dhowell,

Try the following macro:

Sub AbsDiffs()
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim k As Long
Dim l As Long
k = 1
With ActiveSheet
l = .Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To l - 1
For j = i + 1 To l
.Cells(k, 3).Value = Abs(.Cells(i, 1).Value - .Cells(j, 1).Value)
k = k + 1
Next
Next
End With
End Sub

It puts the absolute differences for values in column A into column C.

Cheers
