formula to subtract pairs of cells - excel - excel

I have a spreadsheet which I want to: E2=C3-C2, then E3=C5-C4, E4=C7-C6 etc for lots of cells:
So I am looking for a formula which I can drag down which minuses values in pairs rather than consecutively.
I tried SUM(OFFSET) but only added values, not minus.
Any help greatly appreciated!

If you must use a formula in E2, then try:
=INDEX(C:C,ROW()*2-1)-INDEX(C:C,ROW()*2-2)

Your idea of using OFFSET can be made to work. In E2 put
=OFFSET($C$1,2*ROW()-2,0)-OFFSET($C$1,2*ROW()-3,0)
and copy down.

Is there a way to add a formula to unique data points in excel?

I am trying to clean some data with this format:
A1 B1 C1
"0,1,0,E,1" "0,0,0,E" "0,1,1,1,2,E"
To obtain the information, I will need to sum up each cell individually, and then calculate the sum over a row.
So far, I have replaced all of the "E"s (for empty) with no data, which removed the E's, and I have replaced all of the commas with "+" signs to add the numbers in the cell. To run the formula of each cell, I will need to now place an "=" in front of each text string, however, if I copy it in with something like "="="&A1" the formula will not run because excel is reading the = as a letter or symbol and not an operator. Do you know of a way to fix this problem?
Thank you so much!
I think this will work for your version ...
=SUM(FILTERXML("<d><c>" & SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","</c><c>") & "</c></d>","//c"))
That's applied like below ...
... there's always someone smarter than me but that seems to work.
It’s not an in place replacement but it keeps your source data intact and provides a nice reconciliation point.
Using a separate sheet for each column of values, given data in cell A1 of
0,0,0,1,0,1,1,E,1,0
In C1, enter the formula
=IFERROR(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($E$14,",",""),"E",""),COLUMN()-2,1)*1, "")
and drag the fill handle to to the right for as many cells as the longest number of data points you have.
Enter your SUM()formula in B1 (you can use the shortcut ALT + =).
Have you tried something like this, please refer the image, where its showing as per your required output, three alternative formulas
1.) Formula used in cell B2
=SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(--MID($A2,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN($A2))),1),0))
2.) Formula used in cell D2
=SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(--MID($C2,SEQUENCE(LEN($C2)),1),0))
The 2nd formula is applicable to Excel 2021 & O365 Users only
3.) Formula used in cell F2
=SUM(IFERROR(--MID($E2,ROW($1:$1000),1),0))
This is an array formula, so requires to press CTRL SHIFT ENTER !
Here is an update, the last formulas, which i have shared, shall work only when the digits are less than 10, however the present formula, shall work for all number of digits,
Formula used in cell B17
=SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(--MID(SUBSTITUTE($A17,",",REPT(" ",100)),COLUMN(A1:Z1)*99-98,100),0))
Please adjust your range accordingly as per your data.

Incremental Addition in Excel

I want to perform Incremental Addition in excel as below
Initial A1
Next-Day will be A1+A2

Can anyone please help me getting formula for the same. How I can do in excel
Thanks
You can do this by using a mix of relative and fixed cell references in Excel.
Put this SUM formula in B1 cell and drag it down till your entries in column A
=SUM($A$1:A1)

Excel formula to split and assighn value to each cell in Excel

I have a column in excel with the below values
Now I want to split that column into 4 columns with the values as below.
Am trying with Excel formulas using nested if with AND, OR and substitute, but not able to achieve it. Any suggestions/help on how can I get this ?
Thanks in Advance
One solution to Your problem, if not this might move you to the correct answer, could be
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C$1,$A2)),IFERROR(MID($A2,FIND(C$1&" $ ",$A2)+6,LEN(C$1)),MID($A2,FIND(C$1&" $",$A2)+5,LEN(C$1))),0)
Im assuming that your Column 1 starts in A1 and your first input is in A2 further more im assuming headers ABC, DEF... are put in from C1. So putting this formula in C2 you can drag this across and down.
The IFERROR handles the possibility that there is a space behind the $

Need help combining formulas into a multiple IF statement

I'm having trouble writing a formula that will work and was hoping someone could offer assistance with something that requires multiple IF's.
Formula in J4 and J6: =($A$2-F6+1)/($A$2-DATE(YEAR($A$2),1,0))
Formula in J5: =(G5-DATE(YEAR(G5),1,0))/(A2-DATE(YEAR(A2),1,0))
What I want is a formula that can combine the two above formulas, with a max of 1.
IF Column G is Blank, then I want the formula from J4 and J6 with the number capped at 1.
IF Column G is NOT Blank, then my formula from J5.
I keep getting errors whenever I attempt to write this with multiple IF's in the same statement.
I want one formula that would yield 1 on J4, .344444 on J5, and .65555 on J6.
Thank you for your help!
Use this:
=MIN(1,IF(G4<>"",(G4-DATE(YEAR(G4),1,0))/($A$2-DATE(YEAR($A$2),1,0)),($A$2-F4+1)/($A$2-DATE(YEAR($A$2),1,0))))

How to SUMPRODUCT cells that contain formulas

So, what I need is to show SUMPRODUCT of two cell ranges? Both of these cell ranges, that is, each cell contains formula in it. From this formulas I get some number in the cells. This is the way I'm doing it right now:
=SUMPRODUCT((S7:S1000)*(T7:T1000))
and because of formulas I get error A value used in the formula if of the wrong data type
How could I solve this problem? Is there some kind of way to read just number in the cell and not the formula?
Thanks
Replace the "*" with a comma (",").
I've had so much problems with this and in the end it was that instead of comma(",") I needed to use semicolon(";"). Maybe its up to Excel version, I'm using 2010?! So, solution was:
=SUMPRODUCT(S7:S1000;T7:T1000)
