VBA For Subtracting

[ElPerson]

Hi
I need a VBA code for Subtracting every cell in a column from the first cell in the same column

Thank you

Try this

Sub Subtracting()
    res = Range("B1")
    For i = 2 To Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        res = res - Cells(i, "B")
    Next
    MsgBox "Result = " & res
End Sub

Which column should this work??
Thank you

Try this

Sub Subtracting()
    res = Range("B1")
    For i = 2 To Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        res = res - Cells(i, "B")
    Next
    MsgBox "Result = " & res
End Sub

you didn't specify column, but this is set for B

Thank you

In cell B1 your first value, from B2 down your next values

Try this

Sub Subtracting_2()
    MsgBox "Result = " & Range("B1") - WorksheetFunction.Sum(Range("B2:B" & Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row))
End Sub

I do not understand. In cell A1 you have the initial value and in that same cell you want to write the result?

Your original request does not say much about what you need now.

I need a VBA code for Subtracting every cell in a column from the first cell in the same column

You could explain with your words what you have in A1 and how it will change each time you capture a data, explain with several examples.

Excuse me , you are right, i changed my mind regarding what i want
NOW
i want the A1 cell to be updated every time a value in the cells of the column B,D,F is updated,
first i assign the starting value that we will subtract from it and in this case will be 1500,
then we start with b2 have 10 and d2 have 20 and f2 have 5
i want excel when the value in b2 inserted it subtracted from the 1500 and enter the result to A1 "1490" then when d2 value inserted 20 it subtract it from the A1 value "1490-20" > "1470 in A1"
so A1 now have 1470, next once the f2 value updated 5 the excel subtract that from the new A1 value "1470-5" and update the A1 with the result 1465.

I hope the idea is clear now

Put the following code in the events of your sheet

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B2:F2")) Is Nothing Then
        If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Target.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
        Range("A1").Value = Range("A1").Value - Target.Value
    End If
End Sub

SHEET EVENT
Right click the tab of the sheet you want this to work, select view code and paste the code into the window that opens up.
