Dynamic Substract

Iron Contributor

Hello Everyone,

 I would like the number in cell C2 to decrease every time I add a number to the whole of the column C. I would like for any number I enter into the B column to be subtracted automatically from the C2 cell every time a new number is written.

What formula should i write?

@Excel The most basic approach would be to enter in C3:

 =C2-B3

and drag down.

Sir! is it possible to automatic change in C2 when we enter number in B2?

@Excel Not sure what you mean but perhaps like in the picture below??

@Excel 

I think you want to do this row by row. I would not recommend that: you would not have a history of changes, and it would be very difficult to correct mistakes.

But if you really want it, you could use the Worksheet_Change event procedure. See the attached version (now a .xlsm workbook)

Use this formula =$C$2-SUM($B$3:B3). Also, I have attached screenshot for reference.

Thank you so much sir
it worked! Thank you so much sir.

@Excel 

With an up to date version of 365, one could have

= IF(paidBack, 
     SCAN(loanAmount, paidBack, 
          LAMBDA(acc,p, acc-p)),
  "")

which grows dynamically
