formulas in numbers Hi, So I want to make a formula to subtract one cell from another and then divide that amount by another cell. Can you make a single formula to do this? If so how is it done. Struggling to get this to work.

How do I create a formula to subtract in Numbers 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

You can also use the sum() function. If you have two columns of numbers let's say income on column B and Expenses in column C, then you could get the final balance in a footer (or header ) row using the formula:

=sum(B)-sum(C)
