Subtraction formula

[Al]

I am new to Excell and need a simple formula to track Vacation days. If I
have Days taken in cell A1, how do I get cell B1 to show the number of use or
lose days left?

Hi, say you have 25 days of vacation available, then:

in B1
=25-A1

or

=D1-A1
where D1 has the total number of vacation days available.

There are a variety of way:

If the norm amount of vacation is say 14 days, then in B1 put:

=SUM(14-A1)

Can you be more specific?

why do you use the SUM function?

Force of habit, you don't have to.
