How do I create a formula that would alow me to select a value in one cell
and subtract it from a value I enter in another cell.

IE a product with 3 versions cost me 1.00, 2.00 or 3.00 depending on the
version

I want to create a forumla that alows me to select one of the build costs
then enter a selling price in another cell and the 3rd cell would subtract
the value of the build cost from the sales price and give me my margin.

If your build cost is in A1, your sell price is in B1 and your profit margin
is in C1

In C1 input

=(b1-a1)

Hi

On sheet2 set up a list with 1,2 and 3 in A1:A3 to represent your
version numbers.
In B1:B3 enter your costs e.g. 10, 15 and 20

On Sheet1 in A1 enter your sale price.
In B1 enter the Version number
in C1
=If(B1="","",A1-Vlookup(B1,Sheet2!A:B,2,0))
