How do I write a formula for comparing a1>b1, and then
subtracting b1 if a1 is greater?.
 
The general formula is :-
=IF(value1 > value2, result if true, result if false)
'-------------------------------------------------------
This uses your criteria,
If A1>B1 *then* result = A1 - B1
*otherwise* result = 0

=IF(A1>B1,A1-B1,0)
'-------------------------------------------------------
