    Isolate sum from cumulative sums in a column

    Hi,

    I have a spreadsheet with two columns, one with project ID's and the other with cumulative hours day by day until the project is completed.

    I am trying to just isolate the total # hours, i.e. the last day the hours were added up but cannot figure out how to do so.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Wow, I can't believe how simple the solution was. I was probably overthinking it because to get the data to the point it's at took a lot of work. Maybe also because it's monday morning. Anyway, thank you so much!

    Re: Isolate sum from cumulative sums in a column

    How about in C2 copied down...

    =IF(A2<>A3,SUMIFS($B$2:$B$57,$A$2:$A$57,A2),"")

    Note: Hmmm...must have read it wrong again
    HTH
    Regards, Jeff
