tracking inventory

[Jackie]

if there's a # in the "Qty. Received" cell then I want it to add to the
"Current inventory" cell but if there's a # in the "Qty. Shipped" cell then I
want it to subtract it........how can i seperate these functions in 1 formula
so it will do either 1 or the other?

Hi,

Try this
Assuming Receiving begins at B3, and Shipped in C3, Current inventory
beginning balance in D2
Formula in D3: =D2+B3-C3
Copy down as needed
Hope this helps.

Isn't that simply:

current inventory=current inventory + quantity recieved - quantity
shipped ?

Suppose
A1 = QTy Received
B1 = Qty shipped
In C1 (current inventory)

If you already have a formula
=<current formula>+IF(A1>0,A1,IF(B1>0,B1,0))

missed the negative sign

=<current formula>+IF(A1>0,A1,IF(B1>0,-B1,0))

If this post helps click Yes

So, here's what I have.....

ColumnD = Qty. Shipped
ColumnE = Qty. Received

=IF(D>0,C3-D3,0),(E:E>0,C3+E3,0)

each () is giving the right answer but then I get a #Value error?

Wow, I was making this so difficult! Thanks a bunch!
