Excel formula
I regularly use the formula =sum()-sum(). My question is how or can I create
a formula shortcut and to just fill in between the brackets to complete my equation. I would like the shortcut to be readily available instead of always having to retype it in. Can a shortcut be placed on a toolbar or within the autofil shortcut on toolbar. Thank you. |

Once you type the =SUM( you are in edit mode so you cannot invoke the
shortcut at that point. You would have to writ e a macro to return the whole formula. -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "azarat" wrote in message ...

Two alternatives
1) a UDF Function diff(r1, r2) For j = 1 To r1.Count diff = diff + r1(j) Next j For j = 1 To r2.Count diff = diff - r2(j) Next j End Function call with =DIFF(B1:B5,A1:A5) the two ranges need not be the same size 2) =SUMPRODUCT(r1-r2) as in =SUMPRODUCT(A1:A5-B1:B5) the two ranges must be the same size -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "azarat" wrote in message ...

I wonder if there is any break-even point for the number of cells covered by
the ranges after which this UDF might become more efficient than the one you proposed? Function DIFF(R1 As Range, R2 As Range) As Double DIFF = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(R1) - _ Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(R2) End Function Rick "Bernard Liengme" wrote in message ...

Maybe you need a template file already set up with your formulas instead of VBA code to constantly re-create them. |
