Default Substraction formula

How do I substract a range of cells, one at a time, from a cell that has a sum?
For example, cell J187 is the sum of cells C182:C186, ( which is the sum of
a weeks worth of due bills). What I want to do is, in cell K187, have a
formula that substracts each amount from C182:186, one at a time as they are
paid, allowing me to see how much is stilled owed for that week. Is this
possible?

Thanks,
Roger

Do you use a cell to mark each amount as paid?

Add a $ before the column letters in your formulae before choosing PASTE
SPECIAL and click on Formula and Transpose both.

Relative references get updated while pasting formulae.

Sorry posted this response was intended for another post

Enter "Paid" to the next cell for bills paid RANGE D182:186
then use this
=SUMPRODUCT(--(D182:D186<"Paid"),(C182:C186)) in any cell

Yes, as I pay each bill in the range (C182 through C186), In the next
columns, E & F, I enter the date paid and the amount paid. As I enter the
amount paid in column E, I want it to decrease the "weekly total due" in cell
J. Make sense?

Thanks,
Roger
