Ignore number in list

In this spreadsheet the user enters a number called customer reading 

Then they enter a series of numbers, at some point they will enter a number that is lower than the customer reading, in the attached spreadsheet it works ok but if they enter two numbers that are lower it miscalculates . you can see this on the two tabs .I think the issue is with J4 

  • Hello Mike, 

    In the attached file, I removed the unnecessary SUM functions. Also, I modified the formulas in these cells: 

    J4=INDEX(D12:D22,
    MATCH(J3,D12:D22,-1)+1)

    E12=IF(D12>D$5,
    E13+J$7,
    D12)

    Hopefully, this version will ultimately resolve your issues. 

    Cheers!
