I have a spreadsheet in which the last column indicates a final check being done on sets of documents held in the office
When the documents are checked, i will enter 'yes' into the 'checked' column
At the top of my spreadsheet I have entered the total number of documents to be checked. i want that number to decrease by 1 everytime 'yes' is entered into the cells in the 'checked' column
How would I do this :)
