    Need formula which will ignore blank cells and find next cell with value, then calc

    Hi all,
    Please can you help me? I need help with a formula. I need the formula to identify first cell with value, then skip / ignore blank cells, and find next cell (further down in spreadsheet) with a value, and perform calculation.

    The calculation would be =SUM(B5-B4), and so on. It would continue to look up the next available value in order to do the calculation. Does this help at all?

    It must determine the number of km's travelled between two dates - the calculation ignoring / skipping the blank cells, and finding the next cell with a value, in order to do the calculation for the km's travelled between the next two dates
