Default subtraction

Mine is a simple one I think...
I need a formula to subtract one cell from another.
EX:
E5-E6 with result in F6
Can anyone help?

Yes... and I got
#VALUE!
Tried reformating the cell to Number, then accounting, then currency.
Nothing worked.
Any ideas?

Are you sure E5 and E6 have numbers in them?
