Hiya guys

Im after a formula that essentially does a sumproduct but instead of multiplying i want to take away

ie im after =sum(B2-A2,B3-A3,B4-A4,B5-A5) etc
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.

Click to expand...

Control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(A2:A5*B2:B5),B2:B5-A2:A5))

.. or possibly just this?

=SUM(B2:B5)-SUM(A2:A5)

Although I think Peter's SUM-SUM is the efficient way to do it in this case, there might be some value in learning how to use SUMPRODUCT effectively.

=SUMPRODUCT(B2:B5 - A2:A5)
