Hi Frank,

Only the OP will know for sure but I took it the the OP's first language was
not English and Chris P meant:

"subtract in column C a number [that] is entered in column B."

ie The running tota is in Column C, entries in Column A are added to C and
issues are subtracted from C.

But like you say it won't be the first time I misread a post - I specialise
in it!

I am sorry. I may be reading this wrong.

"subtract in column C a number is entered in column B."

I am understanding that Column B is to be subtracted from Column C. Hey,
Won't be the first time I'm wrong and it won't be the last.

God Bless

That won't subtract from Column C

ChrisP;

Sandy's is a little involved, but is certainly one way of doint things.
Try
this instead

=IF(OR(A30,B30),A3-B3,"")

If you don't mind having a 0 in column C then just enter;

=a3-b3

God Bless

I wish to create a form to track receipts to and issues from a store.
Very simply like this
Column A Column B Column C
Receipts Add Issues Subtract Stock Remaining

Not being very conversant with excel could any body suggest a formula
that
will add in column C a number entered in column A,
and subtract in column C a number is entered in column B.
Your help is appreciated.
