Default How can I track numbered inventory?

I cannot find a formula to give me a figure for exact # in a numbered
inventory. For example: My items are numbered 800 to 819 if I just
subtract it gives me an answer of 19 when I actually have 20 items. I need
a formula that is inclusive. I tried subtracting with +1 but then on 0 item
lines, the final inventory gives me 1 item (not good) :) Please Help!!

Debbie, see if using and if statement will work for you, something like
this,

=IF(B1-A1=0,0,B1-A1+1)

Woops, I believe, as Paul has indicated, I forgot the +1.
