I have been trying to automate an excel sheet for my old man and have run into some trouble.

At random intervals there will be input numbers the second column, and im trying to figure out how to make the first column divide that number by the amount of blank cells since last entry.

25.14
25.141.00
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!192.00


=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(U132)),U132/COUNTBLANK($T$2:T131),T133)

That is the formula i have been trying to use. But i get a reference error when the same thing is in the above cell.

Any input would be appriciated.

Also thought about making it count in row 2, since that would probably be easier, but it would have to count backwards from new input to last input.

Seems to work as I intended, is there a way to substract 1 from the actual cell count since my result should be 27.43 :)

TY in advance for great help.

How about
Excel Formula:
=IF(U1="",T1,IFNA(INDEX(U2:U100,MATCH(TRUE,U2:U101<>"",0))/(MATCH(TRUE,U2:U101<>"",0)-1),""))
