Hello, again
I have some sorting out to do, and would like a couple of cells to do the following:
The first one I'd like to sum up the average difference between values in columns B and C.
(This one's in the kit already, just mentioned for introductory purposes)
The second cell should return the greatest difference between values in columns B and C.
The differences being between values on the same level (B4-C4, B5-C5 etc)
These two I might possibly be able to churn out myself, if I horsed around with them a couple of days/weeks, so thanks in advance for saving me that time.
The next one is a bit trickier, where another couple of cells performs the same tasks as above, only this time treating the differences between the values following one another down the same column.
Instead of B4-C4, it would be B4-B5, B5-B6 and so on.
This time as well the two cells would return the average difference and greatest difference.
Finally, the challenge totally beyond my range: a "diagonal" twist of these, where the differences I want counted, maxed, averaged and so on, are between mentioned C-column-cells and the cells one row above in the column beside, in this case it would be the differences between B3-C4, B4-C5 and so on.
If it were just a few rows, I'm sure it would be just some fairly simple maths required to solve the problem, but since there are hundreds and hundreds of descending rows, I need some sort of ingenious Excel formula that doesn't take an hour to type.
Anybody know it?
