using the google spreadsheets
First of all thanks for those advising me. Second I suppose that the
google spreadsheets are simular to exell. If not please say so. Third. ...Anyone can tell me the formula for subtracting 1 cell from another? I thought It would be something like MIN=(A6-B6) but i can only find the sum formula what adds up two values. Thanks. |

Why would you expect Excel users to know how any other spreadsheet works? Many do, but they probably know OLDER spreadsheets than Excel rather than newer ones. Third. ...Anyone can tell me the formula for subtracting 1 cell from another? .... Same as in Excel (or nearly any other spreadsheet) =A6-B6 returns the value of A6 minus the value of B6. |

using the google spreadsheets
i did it both ways
=B4-C4 and =sum(B4:C4) and they both worked for me. although the one with "sum" took a minute to calculate. i don't know enough about google spreadsheets to say why yours isn't working. :) susan On Aug 17, 2:51 pm, compactstu wrote: On Aug 16, 12:21 pm, ilia wrote: Just tried Google Spreadsheets, it works exactly this way.

Sandy -
no, not an actual 60 seconds, but i'm on broadband & no way was it instantaneous - maybe 30 seconds. i was sitting there waiting for it, and was thinking it wasn't going to work at all. i had never looked @ google spreadsheets before, but i was pretty disappointed in the product. :) susan On Aug 17, 5:59 pm, "Sandy Mann" wrote: "Susan" wrote in message oups.com... =sum(B4:C4) and they both worked for me. although the one with "sum" took a minute to calculate.
