Hi everyone
Could someone please explain to me step by step, I am a newbie to Excel at work.
This is what I need to know how to do.

I have a spreadsheet with the headings across the top:
Name Budget Jan. Feb. Mar. to Dec. Spent Balance

5 Rows with teachers names

What I need is if they start with a budget of $200.00, the balance column needs to say $200.00.
Then every month I put in what they spent and I need the balance column to change automatically.
I hope this is clear and not too confusing.
But I have no idea how to do this so that the balance and the spent column change automatically. So basically subtracting not adding.
Please someone help
Thanks so much in advance

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
A1 B1 C1 D1 E1 F1 G1 H1 I1 J1 K1 L1 M1 N1 O1 P1


Name Budget Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Spent Balance


Teacher - 1 200 20 10 10 15 20 20 10 10 0 0 =Sum(C1:N1) =B1-O1

I hope you understand this
