Hi,
I have 4 cols of data.
A = part number
B = Tester
C = Date
D = Weight
Parts are weighed and then weighed again after 2 weeks approx.
Can anyone suggest a formula that will subtract the weight on the second date by part number please?

jimde,
Welcome to the forum!
In your list, there are several part numbers that are weighed either only once, or more than twice (weighed up to 7 times in fact). What do you want in these cases? The difference between the two most recent weights? The difference between the original weight and the most recent weight? etc
Hope that helps,

welcome to the forum however....
Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

Hi tigervater,
Should have been clearer, yes the difference between the original and the most recent.
Any parts that don't have a second entry, please ignore.
Thanks Jim

Hi,
I changed the title to one suggested by the mod before I replied.
I didn't realize that the first 2 replies would remain unchanged.
Jim
and "Problem with formula" is more descriptive of what you want than "Neat formula required"...how?
please rename your thread to something more meaningful, that actually describes your problem. lots of contributors will look at a thread title, and if it is of interest to them, or falls within their area of expertese, they might only open those threads. also, searching for "help" will not turn up too many results that will benifit you, sorry.
To change a Title on your post, click EDIT on you're 1st post, then Go Advanced and change your title"
Hi,
For now I'd be happy to resolve the products with 2 dates. The products weighed once are either incomplete or awaiting a second test. Multiple values indicate operator error, which I'll deal with later.
Thanks for your help.
Jim
jimde, you will not recieve any offers of help until you comply with the moderators request to change your thread title to something that actually describes what you want
Have I not?
yes, you have now, thanks
try this in E2, copied down...
=IFERROR(D2-VLOOKUP(A2,A3:$D$534,4,0),"")
