Formula Problem for Newbie - Please!

I have 4 columns : A1 is date; B1 is Advance; C1 is Deposit and D1 is
Total...
How do I do this formula so that D1 shows the total. The total column will
be in a negative because the Advances are more than the Deposits but I think
if I just insert the Advance with a - sign, this should work. Have spent an
hour trying to figure out this simple thing, so finally decided to ask for
help.
Thanks!
 
Bernard:

Where do I insert this formula and what do I highlight? I went to D and put
in =C1-B1 and nothing happens...sorry to be so ignorant.
 
Nothing happened? You typed =C1-B1 in D1 and there were numbers in B1 and
C1?
What did you see? Did you see the formula? Or did you see 0?
I will send you a sample file and you can tell me what you see.
best wishes
