Default Calculation

In one colum I have different years eg. 2009, 1979, etc.. In the next column
I have 2010. What I'm trying to do is subtract from each colum to show how
many years a person has been in employment eg. 2009 joined company 2010 left
company. I know I can do =2010-2009, but how do I drop the formula. I have
tried putting in the colum eg. =a-b, but this doesn't work. If I do it the
other way I have to do it individually.

Can anyone help?

Default Calculation

Hi,
not sure if I understood, in column A you have the year the person started
and in column D the year he left the company so in column E enter

=D1-A1

copy formula down
