SUM FORMULAS
in column A1 i have a beginning balance and in column B2 i want to type in an
amount so column C2 will subtract B2 from A1. =A1-SUM(B2)got that. now in the next row i want to do the same and so on. the problem i am having is that when i put in next row, column C3 in rows C4 thru C100 show the amount of the last sum. i don't want this. if i havent put in an amount in column B than i don't want C to show anything. how would i accomplish this. PLEASE HELP |

Will you be adding to the balance using other cells in Column A, or just
subtracting Column B from the single starting balance in A1? If just a single starting value in A1, try this in C2: =IF(B2,A$1-SUM(B$2:B2),"") And copy down as needed. If adding to balance using Column A, try this in C2: =IF(OR(A2<"",B2<""),SUM(A$1:A2)-SUM(B$2:B2),"") And copy down as needed. Caveat: Don't recommend this if you intend to calculate in excess of a couple thousand rows. It really uses XL resources. It's fine for smaller sheets. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "MICHELE" wrote in message ... in column A1 i have a beginning balance and in column B2 i want to type in an amount so column C2 will subtract B2 from A1. =A1-SUM(B2)got that. now in the next row i want to do the same and so on. the problem i am having is that when i put in next row, column C3 in rows C4 thru C100 show the amount of the last sum. i don't want this. if i havent put in an amount in column B than i don't want C to show anything. how would i accomplish this.
