I am trying to make a chart to figure weight lost gains and losses per person. I need the beginning weight for the month with week 1's weight, week 2 and so on. I also need, in between the weeks, the gain or loss amount which I have figured by subtracting the two. When I get to the end of the month, I have to know each person's amount gained for the month and each person's loss for the month. This is when I am having problems because the weekly weight is in between. I have figured out how to do this in columns per week for all the participants, but not across for the individual.
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Wouldn't subtracting the starting first week weight from the last week weight give you the gain/loss info?

Yes, that would work if it were that simple. The spreadsheet HAS to be in this order: Name; Beginning of the Month Weight; Week 1 Weight; Week 1 Difference; Week 2 Weight; Week 2 Difference; Week 3 Weight; Week 3 Difference; Week 4 Weight; Week 4 Difference; Week 5 Weight; Week 5 Difference; Month Loss; Month Gain

I need to somehow separate each week's difference and add it in the appropriate gain/loss column. I have not been able to figure it out.
