This is the formula I have.

=SUM(InventoryOrdered!E3,InventorySold!B:B)*COUNT( InventorySold!B:B,10-87400)

The count works by itself. But I can not get the count part to subtract from
the sum part. or heck, even add it at this point. At least then I would be
closer.

I do the COUNTIF but I want to subtract that from Sheet Inventory Ordered and
put the results in Sheet Inventory In Stock

The confusion on my part was that you said you wanted 10-6161 to "be
represented by 4".

It sounds like you want to count all the 10-6161 in column B and subtract
that number from the "inventory ordered" amount.

You can use a formula like

=COUNTIF(B:B,"10-6161") to count up the 10-6161s in B. You can also
reference the cell that contains the part number like =COUNTIF(B:B,$A1).

If those do what you want, just include the COUNTIF... part in the formula
that you want to show your inventory (subtracting it from the number you
have ordered. if it's in the same row it should be easy).

No. All the sheets, the part number is at least 3 columns over. But hey,
if I
need to I can move it.

Do you have a column next to "10-6161" that has a 4 in it?

Ok, let me try this again.
I have 4 lipsticks which are represented in sheet 'Inventory Ordered'
cell
E3. I want those lipstick to be represented by 10-6161. Everytime I
type
in
10-6161 in sheet 'Inventory Sold' column B I want it to subtract from
'Inventory Ordered' cell E3 and the results to show in 'Inventory In
Stock'
cell D3.

Layout;
'Inventory Ordered' Cell E3 minus by part number 'Inventory Sold'
column B
to = in 'Inventory In Stock' D3

If I can't work it out, would someone also be kind enough to walk me
through
it once.
