I'm receiving syntax errors when I try to use the formula {=SUM(C23,{=(-C24)})}
What could I be doing wrong? Is there a microsoft article I can refer to for
more information on subtracting in Word tables?

I know that the formula for adding fields is such as "sum(c23,c24)",
but how do I subtract one field from another?


You can use SUM to add the negative of the second number:

{=SUM(C23,{=(-C24)})}

Or, without SUM:

{=(C23-C24)}
