    Unhappy IMSUB of Multiple Cells

    I feel as though i may be missing something. I have been trying all afternoon to work on formulas in Excell 2010 and it has not been going very well, I get the basics of the formula process, but what im trying to master is subtracting an entire column of cells from another column of cells. Every time i do exactly what the tutorials tell me it ends up with an error message. Here is what im doing maybe someone can tell me where im going wrong. on a side note, i began doing this with currencys but thought maybe that was the problem so now im trying the general formatting.

    A B
    26 13
    12 5
    67 14
    23 32
    99 4

    I want to get the sum of colum b subtracted from column a so i type into C7;

    =IMSUB(A2:A6,B2:B4)

    and the sum i get in C7 is #VALUE!

    I have tried it adding a subtraction sign before B2 and still the same thing occurs.

    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Complex numbers? No, don't think so.

    Two ways:

    =SUM(A2:A6)-SUM(B2:B6) confirmed with Enter

    =SUM(A2:A6-B2:B6) confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter (Array Entered)

    You'll see: {=SUM(A2:A6-B2:B6)}


    Regards
