The formula as written is in "relative" mode, which means that if you copy the formula to another cell, all of the cell references will automatically be adjusted. So if you copy the formula to column F as is, all references will be adjusted. =IF(B11>0,F11-SUM(I11:W11),"").
If you want any references to be absolute, you would preference the row or column (or both) with a dollar sign. For example, if you always wanted to sum H11-V11 regardless of the row or column the formula was in, you would use: =IF(A11>0,E11-SUM($H$11:$V$11),"").
Now if you copy the formula to column F, it would look like: =IF(B11>0,F11-SUM($H$11:$V$11),"").
Only the row/column references without $ will be adjusted.

Sorry im confused there but I think I may of mislead you. The formula is shown in column W and im trying to get it to work when data put into column E or F and calculate it in W

If Sam didn't give you an answer that works, you might want to provide an example of the data.

If you put a date in column A and a cash figure in column E it copies the cash figure to column W. Then as you input data in columns H-V it reduces the figure in column W.
I need it to do the same principal but be able to put a cash figure in column E or F and then input the data into H-V etc.
