I have an excel worksheet that I use for finances. I have to cells one is a
Paid cell and the other is a Balance cell. I want to take the Paid cell and
Minus it from the Balance cell and have the Balance cell reflect the change
in the amoutn paid how can I do this, what is the function?

If B1 contains your previous balance (after payments)
and A2 contains your payment for the current period,
then B2 (the current balance after payments) can be:

=B1-A2

Copy that down.

That seems a little "obvious". So I wonder if I
misunderstood your need. If that is the case, a
concrete example might help, complete with cell
references (A1, A2, B1, B2, etc) and the values
that you want to see.
