Please can you help me with this Time sheet problem?
I have Time Sheet with entries (In, Out, Break,etc) in Rows 1 thru 10in ColA. I'd like to show in ColB time diffrence between each. My Problem is that NOT all rows have entries, so it's possible that ColB Row8 will subtract ColA Row8 from ColA Row7 - IF IT'S OCCUPIED, if NOT the it should look further up and subtract from Row6 if THAT'S Occupied and if not then go furter up till the last occupied cell and then show the diffrence
