how to calculate quantities used using manufacturer part code

Copper Contributor

Hi, i need to make sure the wording matches and then reduce the quantity on the left by the quantity on the right.  Is there a simple way to do this please? As wording are not always going to be on the same line.

as the manufacturer part code on the right needs to 'find' the manufacturer part code on the lef, see the quantity mount next to it and then reduce in a new column

I don't see a quantity on the right...

@Hans Vogelaar there’s one on the right the one on the left is missing but it’s Column A

I'd use a separate column so that you can see the original stock. See the attached workbook.
