Being all formulas with =, so you need =B3+C3-D3*E3
But we aware the multiplication happens first, so it finds = (B3+C3) -
(D3*E3)
If you want to add the two values, do the subtraction and then multiply, use
=(B3+C3-D3)*E3
best wishes
PS Please write Question in the white space
PPS The formula is the same no matter what cell you put it in

This would be a formula for a ending balance in cell F3.
