    Save subtraction formula or record macro

    I download bank statement info in csv format and import it into Excel 2010. Column D has the total amount of the transaction and Column E the GST amount. Then I have 10 or so columns to the left to show which expense category it is eg Tools, Phone etc. How can I record a formula or macro to be able to select the cell under 'Tools' or whatever and calculate column D amount less column E amount for that row?

    Thanks Pike for your time and the welcome.
    Yes I know how to enter a formula, but it gets quite time consuming doing it row after row.
    I would love to be able to select the cell where I want the answer (anywhere from Column G to Y) and be able to use a macro shortcut such as Control + g, that runs: D(same row number)-E (same row number). The answer would be in the same row as the D & E cells being used for the formula.
    I have tried recording a macro, but it doesn't work as it seems to use how many cells to the left etc and obviously while the D & E columns remain the same, the cell I need the answer in varies.

    Thanks so much for your help.
    It worked perfectly, the first time I ran it, but then would not run again, gave answer of 0 or some enormous number.
    Macro has title of GSTcalc and this is how I used your code

    Dude

    Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # at the top of your post window. For more information about these and other tags, found here

    add some code tags to your snipet of code
