Default Can I make A-B=C

I am trying to manage a few things I am selling and shipping off. In column a
I have the price I sold it for. In column b I have the shipping price that
was charged and in c I have the total profit made which is a-b, Is it
possible to format them so it automatically subtracts from B from A so I can
get C? Thanks in advance!

In C1 type the formula
=A1-B1
then copy it down Col C in the cells you want the same calculation... for C2
it will change to =A2-B2 and so on...

Do I have to go down each column and change the number to the corresponding
row or is there an easier way?

Excel will do it for you. Click (and hold) the "fill handle" -- the little
black box on the bottom right of the cell. Drag it down as far as you want.
When you release the mouse button, Excel will fill in the cells, adjusting
the cell address appropriately.

Regards,
Fred.

After typing the formula in C1 press enter
Then selcect C1, press CTRL-C to copy , select the range you want similar
formula and press CTRL-V to paste...

you can also drag down the right-bottom corner of the cell C1 to copy it
down...
