Subtract a value from list
have you data start in row 2, so
A2: 11,11 A3: 33,22 in C1 put in =22 in C2 put in the formula =A2-MIN(A2,MAX($C$1-SUM($A$1:A1),0)) then drag fill it down column C to match your data. Now, when you want to subtract additional, you can do C1: =22+30 and the remainders will update. You could adjust the formula in c1 to be =Sum(D1:IV1) then D1: 22 E1: 30 and so forth -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Rodrigo Ferreira" wrote: I don't know how can I explain...

My list has more a lot of lines. And maybe I'll have to subtract more values... 1- How can I calculate the column "D"? 2- Can I have a one column with this results? Without the column "C"?

No, I'm sorry, I don't understand your subtractions. Can you explain how C
is calculated from A? -- David Biddulph "Rodrigo Ferreira" wrote in message ... I don't know how can I explain...

Subtract a value from list
You say "What can I do????".
What you can do is explain how you want your numbers calculating. Tom's formula assumed that you will subtract from each cell in turn down the column, with each cell going down either to zero, or to what is needed to reduce the total by the amount in your C1 cell. If that's not what you want, you'll need to explain what you do want. How do you calculate your value of 2,572424916 for C7? You seem to be suggesting that it should be A7-C7, but it's C7 that you're calculating. If you put 2,572424916 in C7, you've reduced the total of rows 2 to 7 by 55,96198416, not by 51,5953324 which was what you put in C1. -- David Biddulph "Rodrigo Ferreira" wrote in message ... Tom, Look this: A2=1 A3=2 A4=3 A5=4 A6=5 A7=6 C1 = 4 Your formula works! But A2=10 A3=9,900990099 A4=9,806212457 A5=9,705901479 A6=9,609803445 A7=9,5115016 C1= 51,5953324 The formula return wrong answer: C2=0 C3=0 C4=0 C5=0 C6=0 C7=6,939076684 C7 has to be 2,572424916 (A7-C7) What can I do????

I was trying to reduce from each cell going down to zero. Tom, I was wrong, your formula works fine... Sorry Tom. My last calc was wrong.
