Thanks for the response.
No this is a simple Excel sheet. Basically users choose an item from a
validated list. This then uses a vlookup to find the number in stock. The
user can specify how many they want and all I want to do is just to
decrease the number in stock by the number required. I thought it might be
something as simple as:
=vlookup($B$4,vl_stock,2)-$B$6 etc but this reduces all of the numbers on
the stock list for all items. I am sure there is a simple explanation but
I spent a day looking for a solution on the net yesterday and got nowhere.
Would appreciate any insights you might have.
