Default Select a variable range

Hi,
If you copy the formula to another cell the range will vary unless you use
the $ signal in front of the Letters or row numbers i.e.
$B$4:$B$10 always will refer to the range B4 to B10 if you copy this formula
will stay as it

Hi Bluecat,
I was trying to make sense of what you sent because when you paste the
information it comes with all the columns mixed up however why you don't have
your initial odometer counter in one column and the final in the other in
that way you will be able to substract both column arriving to the total
desired if that is not possible please send the example as follow so I can
identify the columns

A B c
DATE JOUNEY ODOMETER
