Subtracting Numbers in Excel

Subtracting numbers in Excel is straightforward and involves using the subtraction operator (`-`). Follow the steps below to learn how to subtract numbers:

1. Open Excel: Launch Excel and open a blank workbook or an existing sheet.
2. Enter Numbers: Type the numbers you want to subtract into separate cells. For example, type `20` in cell A1 and `10` in cell B1.
3. Select the Result Cell: Click on the cell where you want the result to appear, such as C1.
4. Use the Formula: In the formula bar (or directly in the cell), type:

   =A1 - B1

   Press Enter, and Excel will display the result (e.g., `10` in this case).
5. Update as Needed: If you change the values in cells A1 or B1, Excel will automatically recalculate the result.

Now, use the interactive example below to simulate subtraction in Excel.
