I know this has been answered before but the reply refers to concepts I'm not familiar with (minuend and subtrahend) and I can't find anywhere in Numbers that this is addressed. I just want cell E5 to be the difference between B5 and C5

Hi Mavido,
Formula: What SGII has described above should solve your issue.
Coming to terms:
'minuend': The value from which something is being subtracted. (B5)
'subtrahend': The value that is being subtracted from the subtrahend. (C5)
'difference' The result of the subtraction. (E5)
Regards,
Barry
Select E5 and type = to call up the formula editor. Click cell B5 then type - then click cell C5 followed by <return>.
