between two cells can any one suggest me how to find the
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.

Paul
