How I can find breaks in continuity
I have a workbook of which I check every month for breaks in continuity on a variety of machines. What im trying to do is see the breaks in continuity when dates are missing. I.E say I have a workbook which has start dates.end dates and machine numbers Machine 1 Start date= 01/03/2006 end date = 07/03/06 then on the next entry Start 08/03 end 16/03. Obviously there no break there so that fine. Machine 2 Start 01/03 end 07/03 start 25/03 end 31/03. Obviously there a break there and I need to be able to have that highlighted. There are about 40 machines which all have there own number. When their input they are not in any order cos there input every time there emptied. I only need to check the contunity monthly so if to make it easier they can be sorted into machine no before checking for breaks. Can anyone help? -- tweacle |

How I can find breaks in continuity
If you sort the data by machine then startdate then lets say machine is in column a, start b, finish c and the data starts in row2. If cell d3 put if(a2=a3, b3-c2,0) if the value is greater than 1 you have a gap you can then copy it down all th other rows Regards Dav -- Dav ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dav's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27107 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=531332 |
