Default How can I subtract cells in a row

Nope. But you can use that little autofill button at the bottom right of the
selected cell to drag down the column.

(From Debra Dalgleish's site)

Or you could select your range first:

Edit|goto
type the address (say) D1:D9932
type the formula once for that top cell:
=b1-c1

But hit ctrl-enter to fill all the selected cells.

Is there a way to do it at the top, so that it will automatically do it on
every row?

If you want to start in Row 1, put this in D1:

=b1-c1

And copy that formula down as far as you need.
