Excel subtraction question
I have a number in a cell A3 and about 40 numbers in 40 other cells that I
want to subtract from the number in A3. I tried = A3-C1:C39 but that did not work. What is the easiest and correct way to perform this calculation? Thanks |

Try this:
= A3-SUM(C1:C39) Hope this helps. Pete On Dec 11, 12:55 pm, Dig wrote: I have a number in a cell A3 and about 40 numbers in 40 other cells that I want to subtract from the number in A3.

Ooops. Fingers slipped. Corrected formula: =A3-SUM(C1:C39) Use colon,
not minus sign for range. Les "Dig" wrote: I have a number in a cell A3 and about 40 numbers in 40 other cells that I want to subtract from the number in A3. I tried = A3-C1:C39 but that did not work. What is the easiest and correct way to perform this calculation? Thanks |
