I need a basic formula as soon as possible! I know that I have done this type
of work before however, it has been so long since that I cannot remember how to do it. I have a spreadsheet with various items named on it, and the amount we have next to it. What is the formula that I need to put in, in order to keep track of what we have i.e. when something gets taken out of the archive, I can just type it in and see straight away what is left? I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE! many thanks. |

Assumption: the quantity on hand is in column B (names in A) and all columns
beyond B available for us to use. We'll work with row 2. Type the amount used/removed into C2 and in D2 the formula =B2 - C2 will give you what is left. Now, the problem is that Excel won't 'remember' the amount left back in column B when you delete/change the entry in C2, so you'd then need to manually change the quantity on hand in B2 and delete the entry in C2.

It doesn't make any sense to me, Donna.
You will need to describe in more detail the data that you have (cells, columns, sheets etc) and what you want to do with it, then you might get some constructive help.
