Hello,

I would like to set up a spreadsheet where I have a call with a total number
of paqs that I have in inventory. I have a column called Units where I enter
the units a customer orders. I would like to have excel subtract the number
of units in the Units column from the cell where I have the total number of
paqs. For instance, I have a cell that says I have 100 paqs in stock. Each
time I sell a paq to a customer I add their name and the number of units sold
Customer Units Date
Name 1 02/10/10
Name 3 02/10/10
How do I get excel to subtract the number of units from the cell that
contains the total number of units.

Thanks very much for your help.

Best regards

Dee
