I'm creating a simple spread sheet
 

I'm creating a simple spread sheet in Excel. I want to, throughout the
sheet, subtract Coumn C from Column B and have the result shown in Column D
without placing the formula in each cell for each entry... HELP!

In you mean "type the formula" in each cell, you can use the fill handle by
grabbing the lower right corner of the cell and dragging down.

If you mean you don't want a formula unless there is data to calculate, you
need a macro.

Hi Jan,
You don't have to key in formulas in each cell. Just select the row
including the top cell in which you have place the formula, and click "Cntrl
+ D"
Voila!!
