Hi Wayne,

Conditional formatting just changes the look. Not sure it can be used to 
hide data.

Create an extra column after reading row. Put formula that compares next 
rows reading number with current rows reading number, insert a value - 
e.g. 'END', to represent end of day - then use autofilter to hide the 
data you don't want to see.

The formula would look something like this...

=IF(CurrentRowReadingNumber > NextRowReadingNumber, "END", "")
