Thanks for your help Bill, Im in NZ too!!!
Unfortunatly your formula did not work. It doesnt show up as invalid but
just turns up a blank(not a zero even) in the C column.....Help!!!

Try
=IF(B2-A2>=2,1,"")

to pick up when the difference is actually 2

Great!!!!thats it!! Now Can I enter more than one function like this in the
same formula to keep building my total ....something like:

=IF(B2-A2>=2,1,"") + (B3-A3>=2,1,"") + ........and so on, so my result of 1
would keep tallying 1+1+1+1 = 4

Timmy

From your first reply
it looked like you want a 0 result if not >=2.
This can be done with =IF(B2-A2>=2,1,0)
With copy down I indicated that you can extend the formula down the column.
Use the right hand bottom corner of C2 cell
The mouse pointer changes to a black "+" sign
hold and drag down
You can then add the results in that column.

If I've read you correctly, this might work (in a single cell):

Put in say, C1: =SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B100-A2:A100>=2))

Adapt the range to suit ..

And for a cleaner look when cols A and B are cleared, you could switch off
extraneous zeros display in the sheet via:
Click Tools > Options > View tab > Uncheck "Zero values" > ok
