averaging & ???
We need a formula to do the following: Subtract a given reading from the one previous to it and divide it by the number of days in between. That average number then goes in a column. The other BIG problem is that meter readings are never on the same day month to month. Example: Date Meter Volume 1 18,179,000 2 3,000 3 3,000 4 3,000 5 18,191,000 3,000 6 2,500 7 18,196,000 2,500 I truly appreciate any help that you can provide....Im turning blue trying to figure out myself.

It wasn 't the data that was the problem, but understanding what result you
want to get. What is the answer that you want a formula to arrive at? -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove xxx from email address if mailing direct) "Dee/Daes" wrote in message ...
