    Return highest minus lowest value in a rng which is defined by location of a spesfic value

    I've attached a dummy workbook to help explain better. Would appreciate if someone could take a look at it. Cheers

    Re: Return highest minus lowest value in a rng which is defined by location of a spesfic v

    If you make your header row Row 4, you could use this formula in K2

    and in M2

    Drag/ Fill both Down.

    Or combine the formula to get the result directly.

    What is the significance of the Search Length?
    I have assumed you want to analyse each weeks data. i.e. every group of 5 rows where the last in the group is a Friday.

    You say ....
    In this range, look then for the HIGHEST value present in the range, substract from the LOWEST value present in the range.
    Are you sure that will give you the result you need?

    Re: Return highest minus lowest value in a rng which is defined by location of a spesfic v

    venkat1926 I looked at the workbook you attached, unfortunately when I run the code it seems to pick up some thursdays and wednesdays as well, and sometimes it skips fridays. not sure how this is happening...

    Marcol, for your question, what I want to do is analyse the data starting with friday, and ending with "Search Length" number of rows from where friday is located...

    Smuzoen, I will look at your code a bit later

    cheers

    Try this workbook, again no VBa required.

    In K5
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    In L5
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Drag/ Fill both Down.

    Or combine the formulae to get the result directly, without a helper column.

    Drag/ Fill both Down.

    Select your Start Day from the dropdown in K2, and enter the Search Length in L2.

    Re: Return highest minus lowest value in a rng which is defined by location of a spesfic v

    Marcol, thanks very much for this, it's working perfect! Left rep for you and others for their help...by the way how can I change the text in the dropdown from "monday", "tuesday", etc to my language which is "mandag", "tirsdag", I need to do this for proper functioning as the "day of week" column is returning names in norwegian.

    Thanks

    EDIT: Nevermind I figured it out. Thanks again for all your help, marking this thread as solved now.
