how do I deduct furthest south cell from furthest north cell?
Ollie 29.09.2006 13:43:01
example: If I put '3000' in Cell 'A1' and in colomn 'A' there are repeated
numerical amounts being added ie 'A3 50, A8 32, A13 68' what sum would I need
to deduct the furthest south cell 'only' from the '3000' in cell A1.

use MATCH to look for a number larger than possible and subtract that

Try this:

=A1-LOOKUP(99^99,A:A)
