Developing Library check-out list

lgilm22

Hi!

I am looking for suggestions/help on a formula for a library check out sheet. In columns I haveL check out date / Number of Copies / Copies Available. I am struggling to figure out an automated process to get the copies available to update once when the number of copies is changed. When the form is submitted it says who checked it out but still shows the item available.

Background:

The smarsheet has a list of around 200 books that are in a department, but available for agency wide check-out. I created a form that allows users to request/submit a check out.

Thank You

You would need a column that stores the total number of copies. Then you would subtract from that how many times it has been checked out and then add how many times it has been checked in which will show you the number of available copies.
