How to write formula for subtracting multiple cells from different columns and rows

[Marc1320]

Hi,

I am having trouble with a formula. This is an example of what I am trying to accomplish:

I have a beginning balance in A1 and want to subtract B2, C3 and D4 and have an ending balance in G20.

Any assistance that can be offered would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi Marc,

Does this work for you?

=A1-(SUM(B2,C3,D4))
