    summation of minus figures

    I have 3 columns data but figures are not only positive so I want formula to calculate it automatically

    Column A Column B Column C
    15...... -4 ...... 6
    -24 ....... -14 ...... 18
    -27 ...... 12 ..... -16
    -5...... -12 ...... 27

    Column A is main column so other two must be deducted from Col A
    Result will be in column D i.e.
    15-4=11-6=5
    -24+14=10-18=-8
    -27-12=-15+16=1
    -5+12=7-27=-20

    Re: summation of minus figures

    Explain your logic. For example the result in first row is 13, not 5 because 15-(-4)=15+4=19(minus with minus is plus) and 19-6=13
    Try one of the following, but i am not sure if this is what you desire as on third row you have a wrong calculation as well:
    =A1-B1-C1

    =ABS(A1-B1)-C1

    This .

    =A1-SUM(B1:C1)

    Or simply

    A1-B1-C1
