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 :-) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Crowraine" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

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. "Dave R." wrote: Do you have a column next to "10-6161" that has a 4 in it? "Crowraine" wrote in message ... Ok, let me try this again.

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

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

Oh, and with the COUNTIF.

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?
