im a newb - please assist

Hi guys,


I wanna thank you and apologize in advance, i am VERY new to excel and need to make something very simple....
i don't want it to fancy as i will not know what to do when it breaks.

I will have 30 different parts names in Column A and in Column B i will have Initial total number...

what i want to be able to do is, whenever required i will go and enter the number of 'parts' i took for each (in Column C)
and i want to know the remaining (in Column D)?


This doesnt have to look exactly like what i have just described, so long as it does the job.
The idea of this will be to use it for long term (like 12-24 months)...hopefully i made some sense. thanks...



Thanks heaps.
