Hi you all!!
Can someone please give me the VBA code to create the "MINUS FUNCTION", i'm always using the traditional way (Ex: A1-A2-A3...) i wanna be able to type =minus(range of cells), like we do with the SUM FUNCTION.

Thanks guys...

Try:

Code:
Public Function Minus(rng As Range)
    Minus = (2 * rng.Cells(1)) - Application.Sum(rng)
End Function
