How to subtract in Google Sheets?

It's pretty easy to do the math when working in Google Sheets thanks to the 'formulas'.  There are different ways to subtract.

Subtract in Google Sheets Using the MINUS Function

What is the syntax of the MINUS function?

=MINUS(value1,value2)

1. Go to the cell where you want to have the result
2. Write =MINUS ()
3. Enter which cell-to-cell operation you want in parentheses.

Please be careful about:

• Do not forget to write “=”.
• Do not forget to put “,” between values.

We need two values ​​for subtraction.

That's it! The subtraction was done for the first row. If you want to do this for the column, you just need to pull down the small square in the lower right corner.

Pull it down to apply it to the other rows.

Pull it to the right to apply it to the other columns.

What to pay attention to here is that we applied the same formula to the cells on the others. Each time it will subtract the last result from the cell to its left.
