All, I need your help in writing a macro,

My column definitions are,
Column - B - > Identifier
Column - C - > Available
Column - J - > Spent
Column - K - > Reference


I have the following cell arrangement
B5=A
C5=10000
B6=B
C6=8000
so on...

This is constant.

If I enter the following values at,
J8=2000
K8=A


Then my macro need to check column - B to identify where we have the value "A" and it has to update the cell C5 as C5 - J8.
Could someone please help to write a excel macro on this.

Note: In B6, B7, B8 cells, I have different alphabets with the corresponding amount entered on it.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Please reconsider the approach - there are many ways in which this can go wrong - most importantly you have now way to undo the effect of wrong 'Spent' entries - the available column will be irrevocably altered.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

First, does it really need to be a macro? Could you have the starting amount somewhere (I have put it in col A) and use a formula as shown. The C5 formula is copied down to C8.
