[comp.sys.mac] EXCEL database help

I have been so far unsuccessful in implementing a macro for an Excel 
database of ~3000 records (rows).  What I need is a macro that would
take a NAME and a NUMBER from the Criteria range, look up (find) the NAME 
in the Database, and subtract / add the Criteria NUMBER 
from/to the Database NUMBER.  It would then prepare itself for the next 
entry of NAME and NUMBER in the Criteria range.

I guess this is sort of an inventory management technique.
Is there an EXCEL function (command) that would take a value in a cell 
and add/subtract a value typed in the "command" line?

Please help, any replies are useful!
