Subtraction Calculation

[ll]

I have 2 columns, 3 rows. I'm trying to subtract 2nd column: 1st row minus
2nd. I can't get that formula right. I tried =MIN(b1:b2) or =MIN(b1,b2).
Could anyone tell me what is correct? Thanks. ll

The MIN function simply returns whichever is the lesser of the two values.
It does not do a subtraction. You need =b1-b2.
