Default Getting the difference between a "negative" number and a positive

Hi All,
I'm trying to get the difference between two cells. Example A1=500 B1=9999850. Trying to subtract A1-B1. The numbers are from a new mechanical counter that starts at 9999850 then goes up to 0 then its positive from then on. Trying to get the result of 650 not -9999350. =ABS(A1-B1) dosen't do it. It's killing me since its only a one time occurrence but its on multiple cells.
