Formula for when a number is greater than or less than by a certain value

[pnr8uk]

Hello all

I am stuck with what seems a fairly simple thing to do but my tiny brain has given up now.

So I want to create an IF statement to work out IF a value in the same column is less than another value in the same column by 2, 3, 4 etc., any number really.

so my column looks like this:

2.84
3.85
5.00
13.50

What I want to do is when the second number in this case 3.85 is less than the third number 5.00 by 2

I can't seem to figure it out for the life of me.

Any ideas

The numbers will always be in the one column.

Do you need something like this?

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:105.5px;" /><col style="width:102.65px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >B</td><td >C</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td style="color:#333333; font-family:Verdana; font-size:9pt; text-align:right; ">2.84</td><td >no</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td style="color:#333333; font-family:Verdana; font-size:9pt; text-align:right; ">3.85</td><td >no</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >4</td><td style="color:#333333; font-family:Verdana; font-size:9pt; text-align:right; ">5.00</td><td >is less by 2</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >5</td><td style="color:#333333; font-family:Verdana; font-size:9pt; text-align:right; ">13.50</td><td >no</td></tr></table><br /><table style="font-family:Arial; font-size:10pt; border-style: groove ;border-color:#00ff00;background-color:#fffcf9; color:#000000; "><tr><td ><b></b></td></tr><tr><td ><table border = "1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="font-family:Arial; font-size:9pt;"><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; font-size:10pt;"><td >Cell</td><td >Formula</td></tr><tr><td >C2</td><td >=IF(B2<B3-2,"is less by 2","no")</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>

That really works thank you.

I did have that kind of idea but it just seemed way too simple.

Thanks again
