formula : =(column A)+(column B)-(column C). Why won't it work?
I've tried it with SUM at the beginning, and putting in brackets in different
places, but it keeps coming up VALUE! Any suggestions? |

What are you trying to do?
(column A) etc is not correct Excel syntax. If you're trying to sum/subtract ranges in these columns it would have to look like this: =SUM(A1:A10)+SUM(B1:B10)-SUM(C1:C10) -- Brevity is the soul of wit.
