Ok so say I have two columns:

<table style="width: 373px; height: 178px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 67pt;" width="89"> <col style="width: 48pt;" span="2" width="64"> <tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt; width: 67pt;" height="20" width="89">Company</td> <td style="width: 48pt;" width="64"> Score
</td> <td style="width: 48pt;" width="64">
</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Person1
</td> <td class="xl63" align="right">100,000</td> <td class="xl63">
</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Person2
</td> <td class="xl63" align="right">200,000</td> <td class="xl63">
</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Person3
</td> <td class="xl63" align="right">300,000</td> <td class="xl63">
</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">
</td> <td class="xl63" align="right">
</td> <td class="xl63">
</td> </tr> </tbody></table>Now say that above those three fields I have in three columns:

Person1 in column A and the ACTUAL Score...actual because I am person 1 and above is an estimated score for all people. Since I know my own score and I know the estimated for mine and everyone else I want to calculate the difference between my actual score and the estimated score.

Then using that difference and the estimates for everyone else create a third column that displays a more accurate estimation. Or at least another number to look at.

Any ideas on how to turn this into an excel formula?

All help is most appreciated!!
