Like, how you want to treat these data
User
28/03/2018 - 04:01
so I would like to isolate instances where the employees would be alternating between being sick and receiving overtime
User

The names repeat too, for example, abby might be sick 3/1 3/2 3/3 etc

request you to provide me a specific data so that i can create a logic for the formula
Excelchat Expert
28/03/2018 - 04:03
else that would be quite difficult for me to derive the formula
Excelchat Expert
28/03/2018 - 04:09
I know that you understand the requirement, but m totally unaware that how you want to get the calculation done for the requirement untill, i dont have the clear visibility on the raw data from where the formula is to be derived
