Hello all,
My first post here so I would like to thank everyone in advance for any help I receive. I am recently getting more into excel so I'm looking forward to helping out others as I learn more! Okay, so on with my problem.
I get sheets, sometimes 10 records, sometimes 1,000 records. And there is a time column. It's formatted as: hh:mm:ssam (09:12:36am). Now what I need to do is find a way to highlight any record that has a large gap between itself and the record before it. This gap amount can be variable, but for the explanation lets say, I need to highlight any record that has a gap of 5 minutes greater than the time before it.
I've tried a formula I found elsewhere:
=F3-F2> 1/24/60*5
But it just returns "#VALUE!".
I'm completely stumped, and since about last week, 1 of my daily responsibilites will be analysing anywhere from 10 - 50 sheets a day.
The guy before me would open the sheet and manually find it by literally looking from record to record. This was this 1 guy's full time job. From what I'm reading around there are ways to have excel do this for me with a simple formula and conditional formatting, but I am not having any luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
