"To subtract two or more numbers in Excel you need to create a formula. Two important points to remember about Excel formulas: the equal sign always goes in the cell where you want the answer to go, and formulas in Excel always begin with the equal sign ( = ). As an example, lets create a formula in cell C1 that will subtract the contents of cell B1 from cell A1. The formula for the answer cell
. is: =A1 - B1 As follows:Put an equal sign in cell C1.Click on cell A1 with the mouse pointer.Put a minus sign ( - ) in cell C1.Click on cell B1 with the mouse pointer.Press the ENTER key on the keyboard.The answer 10 should appear in cell C1."
