Default How do I subtract with text valued number instead of an actual num

Ok, let me try this again.
I have 4 lipsticks which are represented in sheet 'Inventory Ordered' cell
E3. I want those lipstick to be represented by 10-6161. Everytime I type in
10-6161 in sheet 'Inventory Sold' column B I want it to subtract from
'Inventory Ordered' cell E3 and the results to show in 'Inventory In Stock'
cell D3.

Layout;
'Inventory Ordered' Cell E3 minus by part number 'Inventory Sold' column B
to = in 'Inventory In Stock' D3

If I can't work it out, would someone also be kind enough to walk me through
it once.

Hi
have you tried my suggestion and if yes what exactly does not work for you

P.S.: always better to stay in the original thread for follow-ups :-)

I didn't know to stay in the same thread. I tried it but I am having issues
figuring it out. I have been figuring out these formulas as I go. So I don't
know what all the parts of that formula are for. Thank you for letting me
know about the thread.

Do you have a column next to "10-6161" that has a 4 in it?

No. All the sheets, the part number is at least 3 columns over. But hey, if I
need to I can move it.

The confusion on my part was that you said you wanted 10-6161 to "be
represented by 4".

It sounds like you want to count all the 10-6161 in column B and subtract
that number from the "inventory ordered" amount.

You can use a formula like

=COUNTIF(B:B,"10-6161") to count up the 10-6161s in B. You can also
reference the cell that contains the part number like =COUNTIF(B:B,$A1).

If those do what you want, just include the COUNTIF... part in the formula
that you want to show your inventory (subtracting it from the number you
have ordered. if it's in the same row it should be easy).

I do the COUNTIF but I want to subtract that from Sheet Inventory Ordered and
put the results in Sheet Inventory In Stock

You can reference other sheets in formulas, like
=COUNTIF('Inventory Ordered'!B:B,"10-6161")

This is the formula I have.

=SUM(InventoryOrdered!E3,InventorySold!B:B)*COUNT( InventorySold!B:B,10-87400)

The count works by itself. But I can not get the count part to subtract from
the sum part. or heck, even add it at this point. At least then I would be
closer.

New formula

=SUM(InventoryOrdered!E3,COUNT(InventorySold!B:B,1 0-87400))
Now how do I get it to subtract COUNT from Sum?
