Are you new to Excel and not sure how to subtract columns? Do you want to learn how to quickly and easily subtract one column from another in Excel? In this blog post, we’ll show you step-by-step how to subtract columns in Excel.
First, open an Excel spreadsheet containing the two columns you want to subtract. Click on the cell where you want the result to be displayed. Type “equals” (=) and click on the first cell you want to subtract. Then type a minus sign (-) and click on the second cell. Finally, hit “enter” and the result will be displayed in the cell you selected.
To copy the formula down to all the cells in the column, click on the cell where the result is displayed. Move your cursor to the bottom right of the cell until it changes into a solid plus sign and click. Then drag the formula down to the rest of the cells in the column.
