I use a cell to show that a number has been deducted from an account. How can I make a subtraction of that amount form a total amount based on the input to the cell with the alpha character?


m $235.00 d 09/26/17

So I input d and want to deduct the money amount from a cell that keeps a running total of other monies.

Thanks

Input the money amount as a negative, and SUM all of the numbers!

So, if your running total is in Cell Z1, the formula in cell Z1 would be:
=SUM(A1:Y1)

A1 = 1500.00 (starting amount)
B1 = -450.00 (deduction)
C1 = 45.00 (deposit)
D1 = -15.00

Z1 would = 1080.00
Try that!

If this is not what was expected, let us know why this won't work!
