What is how to subtract in excel?

You can subtract in Excel using a few different methods:

• Basic Subtraction Formula: The most common way is to use the minus sign (-) in a formula. For instance, to subtract the value in cell B2 from the value in cell A2, you would enter the formula =A2-B2 into a cell. The result of the subtraction will be displayed in the cell where you entered the formula. Check out some more information on the main approach here.

• Subtracting Multiple Numbers: You can subtract multiple numbers within a single formula. For example, =A1-B1-C1 would subtract the values in cells B1 and C1 from the value in cell A1. See how it is done with Multiple%20Numbers.

• Subtracting a Constant: You can also subtract a constant value from a cell. For example, =A1-10 would subtract 10 from the value in cell A1. This is useful for quick adjustments across a number of cells, check out Subtracting%20a%20Constant to get to know more.

• Using the SUM function for Subtraction: While SUM is primarily for addition, you can use it for subtraction by using negative numbers. For example, =SUM(A1,-B1) is equivalent to A1-B1. The SUM function can%20be%20used%20for%20subtraction in a number of cases.

• Copying Formulas: Once you've entered a subtraction formula in one cell, you can easily copy it down or across to apply it to other cells. Use the fill handle (the small square at the bottom-right corner of the cell) to drag the formula. The cell references will automatically adjust relative to their new rows or columns. This is called Copying%20Formulas.
