Hi

I have an excel spreadsheet that when I select from the drop down menu "Yes" I need it to subtract 1 unit from another cell.

Example:

When the drop selection "Yes" is selected as the item has been completed.
I need to be able to subtract 1 from total amount. Both Marked in red outline

what would the formula be for this.

Hi Unable to Download XL2BB as it is a work computer and everything is blocked. Is there any other way of doing this.

Can't help in a random situation. I'm sure the figure 3 (highlighted in your screenshot) is linked to some data. It can't be a random number.

Hope someone better than me sees the thread and helps you in a best possible way.
