I need to keep a running inventory of pounds of rubber on hand, but want to do it in the same column. Is there a formula to total a range of cells, using both adding and subtracting. In other words can a cell contain a formula that will either add or subtract based on whether a plus or minus sign is used with the number, and the range of those cells automatically updates a cell at the top of the page with the total. Thank you.

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
