    How To Create Running Balance (Subtraction)

    Hello,

    I think I have a simple question,

    How do I create a formula that shows:

    1. What's the remaining running balance of the 10,000 in cell B25 after subtracting the amounts from cells C21, and then, and then C22, and then C23, and then C24, and thenC25?

    Thank you!!

    =$B$25-sum($C$21:C21)
    and copy down

    to stop any errors
    =IF( C21="","", $B$25-sum($C$21:C21))

    Hi Wayne,

    Thank you for your help!

    i have included a snap-shot of what i'm trying to do.

    i'd like cell B25 to show a $10,000 balance.

    i'd like to show the remaining balance left in cell B25 each time an entry is made in cells C17, C19, C21, F17, F19, F21, or from cells C25 and F25.

    I think you would need VBA to be able to enter a number and then have that number change
    otherwise , if you could get the starting amount from a different cell- it would be simple calculation
    B25-(sum( other cells)

    Re: How To Create Running Balance (Subtraction)

    VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) its writing macros
    so with a macro , you could read the cell contents of B25 and then change them

    But with a formula - you need put a formula into the cell to actually then work on the values - so it can not have 10,000 in it to start , unless the 10,000 is in another cell that the formula is accessing

    say for example you have 10,000 in B1
    then in B25

    you could put
    =b1

    now B25 shows 10,000
    then the formula could be
    =B1-Sum(c24:c40)

    now it will takes away from 10,000 what ever the sum of C24 to C40 is

    does that make a little more sense now?
