Finding the difference between two numbers
I am setting up a payment worksheet in Excel that gives the names in column
A, dates of the different payments in B, C, D, and E, and the total in F. The total should come out to be $2,500. In column G, I'd like it to show the amout each person still owes. So, if I place $500 in "A", then "G" should show $2,000. What I've done so far is set the worksheet up to add up colums B-E to show the total in F. Now, how do I get colum F to show the difference still owed? What formula do I use, and how do I set that up? Thanks! |

I assume you meant column G since you say column F is for the total paid. You could use either of these: =2500-F2 Where F2 = Total paid Or: =2500-SUM(B2:E2) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Christian J.

Thank you so much! That did exactly what I needed it to do. The formula was
so simple, yet I could not figure out what I should have done. Thanks again, Christian "T. Valko" wrote: how do I get colum F to show the difference still owed?

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback!
The formula was so simple, yet I could not figure out what I should have done. Whenever that happens to me, and it happens often, I take a break to clear my mind! -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Christian J. Sweatt" wrote in message ... Thank you so much!
