    circular reference problem

    I have the following problem:
    B3 is an input number that changes. B4 is a fixed number that is subtracted from B3. B5 is the result. B6 is the lowest possible number that occurs over a period of time. Obviously when I try to compare B5 to B6 and then change B6 if it is greater than B5 I get a circular reference notice.
    This seems like a very simple problem yet I have been unable to resolve the issue. Any help is much appreciated.

    Try enabling iterative calculation as a start,

    File > Options > Formulas ... tick "enable iterative calculation"
