    Sorry about this one folks, but I may be losing it…for the life of me I can’t remember how to subtract one range name from another. As in the example I am attaching which I took 2 stabs at.
    Thanks for taking a peek at it ahead of time here…always so grateful

      Since your named ranges contain multiple cells:

      =SUM(SUM(Year1)-SUM(Year2))

        Thank you very much. I was also attempting an array, but that was not good either. I should have noted your explanation as I autofilled down, that it was looking at multiple cells, just didn’t think a range would do that. It is a “range” after all. Live and learn.
        Again, Many Thanks

        Actually it is slightly simpler than that:

        =SUM(Year1)-SUM(Year2)

      If you use range names a lot, consider downloading my (free!) name manager from the Excel mvp page below.
