Meter Readings

[Maria Tracey]

I had noticed *empty* posts like the one above before and wondered why. I
posted a reply this morning at work through Google and all that has shown
up is Pete's original post. I must have done something wrong I suppose.

Anyway what I posted was:



It's would not be so bad if it was just complex but it is wrong to boot!

What I should have posted was:

=MOD(LOOKUP(10^LEN(C2),D2:IV2)-LOOKUP(10^LEN(C2),D2:IV2,C2:IV2),10^LEN(C2))*B2+((LOOKUP(10^LEN(C2),C2:IV2,C1:IV1)<>"")*10^LEN(C2))

But I would think that if there was any chance of the meter turning over
more than its capacity then Maria should be looking at replacing the meter
with one of greater capacity.

I couldn't get this one to work Sandy - sorry !

It just gives me a zero for an answer each time.

The meters never go round more than once, quite often not going all the way
round for many many months

Thanks again.

Hi Maria,

Well......... If the meter is never going to go round more than once then
I would just forget about the last formula I posted and just use the one
that you did get to work which was:

=MOD(LOOKUP(10^LEN(C2),D2:IV2)-LOOKUP(10^LEN(C2),D2:IV2,C2:IV2),10^LEN(C2))*B10

or use Pete's formula

Remember that C2 needs to have the the full number of real characters even
if some of them are leading zeros and B10 must have a number in it even if
it is 1.

If you still are having trouble then do post back.
