    Subtracting Column B from A, How to leave Third Column Blank If No Value In Column B?

    Hello - I have what is proabably a basic question, but I could not find the answer. I have a spreadsheet with three columns (A,B,C). I want the third column C to be column A - B (A minus B) for each row, but only if there is a value in column B. If there is no value in column B, then I want that row in Column C to just stay blank. Is this possible? Thank you.

    Try the Excel Help. This site also has some good E-books. or there's the list of online help sites "Excel Useful Links" that appears at the beginning of the Excel General Forum.
    Also, I read through these posts everyday and look for topics that I think I might use, then see how people accomplish things.
