Just enter them in cells as negative numbers. Enter the following to test: A1 -1 A2 2 A3 -1 A4 = Sum(A1:A3) Answer in A4 will be 0 HTH Steve "Deb" wrote in message ... I am doing budget and I have a column of numbers to add but I have to include the numbers to subtract? |

Or, if you want to enter them as positive numbers, use a formula like:
=sum(a1:a5)-sum(a6:a20) -- Regards, Fred Please reply to newsgroup, not e-mail "Steve R" wrote in message ... Deb Just enter them in cells as negative numbers.
