I tried using transpose or multi-row but have no idea how to configure it correctly or i might be using the wrong tools. 

Please help!

 

Thank you in advance!! 🙂

You can pivot your data so your country values are separate columns. After you do the subtraction, you can pivot back.

 

I used a join to get an order column so that I could sort and get the order to UK, US, UK-US.
