    Subtrackting random numbers from average with a positive answer

    Hi

    I want to know if someone can give me a formula. I have 10 random number in column C which I get a average then that average must be subtracted from the random numbers in column with a positive answer in column E. Currently I have to change the formula in column E every time I use the workbook.

    Do you have formulas set to Manual?

    Formulas -> Calculation Options

    EDIT - Ignore that I understand now.

    Using ABS to get positive number:

    =ABS(C3-$C$16)

    Drag down
