The MINUS function in Google Sheets is a mathematical formula that allows you to subtract one value from another. This function takes two arguments, the first argument being the value you want to subtract from and the second argument being the value you want to subtract. The result of the MINUS function will be the difference between the two values. This function is useful for performing simple arithmetic operations and can be used in various ways to manipulate data in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. To use the MINUS function, simply enter the function followed by the two values you want to subtract, separated by a comma. This will return the result of the subtraction and can be repeated for multiple calculations within the same sheet.
