Sharepoint Calculated Columns

Copper Contributor
Hi, hopefully this is the correct forum to help.

I have a sharepoint site which has 5 columns of data which captures different financial amounts, I am looking to created a calculated column on sharepoint which adds and subtracts the 5 columns in a specific order to try and make sure the output is a zero.

I have created the formula in Excel already but can’t seem to sus it in Sharepoint. The formula on excel looks like;

=column1-sum(column2+column3-column4-column5)

Can anyone help with this?

@DBreezy92 To add numbers in two or more columns in a row, use the addition operator (+) or the SUM function.

Examples

 

=[Column1]+[Column2]+[Column3]

 

OR

 

=SUM([Column1],[Column2],[Column3])

 

To subtract numbers in two or more columns in a row, use the subtraction operator (-) or the SUM function with negative numbers.

 

=[Column1]-[Column2]

 

OR

 

=SUM([Column1], [Column2], [Column3])
