Finding difference between two cells
 

somu,

If by "difference" you mean the mathematical variety, then the difference
between A1 and A2 is simply

=A1-A2

or

=ABS(A1-A2)

Hi
In A3 type
= A2 - A1

to get the difference between the value in A2 and that in A1. Blank
cells will be taken as 0 value. You will get an error message if your
cells contain text.

regards
Paul
