Help, Excel Spreadsheet Formula w/ Over and Under
Hi,
I have a simple question but I am unsure on how to do it. I am attempting to create a sheet that will read out how many units over/under you are based on what numbers you have inputted vs the standing value. An example is shown below. Any idea how to get this done? I will need this to apply to the entire sheet and not just a few lines.
| Base | Count | Variance |
| 9.00 | 4.00 | -5.00 |
| 12.00 | 15.00 | 3.00 |

Let's say Base is column A and Count is column B.
Enter the following formula in C2:
=B2-A2
Fill down by double-clicking the fill handle in the lower right corner of B2.
HansVogelaar Thank you! Feel foolish it was so simple. Is it possible to format a table so it will fill automatically as values are entered?
If you format the data as a table, and enter the formula
=[@Count]-[@Base]
in C2, then fill down if necessary, Excel will automatically enter the formula as you add new rows to the table.
