i am crsting a spreadsheet where i will need to show the difference between
one set of numbers and the average set of numbers but i am not sure how to do
this.
i.e average score is 6 and their score is 4 i would need it to show -2

=4-6

hi thanks for that, however there ae 25 average scores on 5 different
matters, not all of them  ae going to = -2 so i need a formula that will work
in all scenarios.

=A2-B2, where A2 is the cell in which you calculate your value of 4, and B2
is the cell where you calculate your value of 6.

The difference would be their score minus the average value.  So if their
score is in cell B1 and the Average is in cell A1 the formula would be:

=B1-A1
