Inventory Tracking - Formula Needed

Our take

Managing inventory can feel cumbersome, especially when trying to reconcile transactions with orders. If you're looking to pull a value from your Transactions sheet based on matching Transaction IDs, you're in the right place. With a simple formula, you can retrieve the number from column G and convert it to a negative value, streamlining your inventory updates. This guide will walk you through the necessary formula, ensuring your inventory remains accurate and easy to track. Let's simplify your process and enhance your efficiency.

Picture 1 is my Transactions sheet, picture 2 is my Order sheet ETA: Excel 365 in Chrome browser. Screenshots are from Excel iPhone app - but all work is done via desktop.

I'm trying to pull a number from column G if the transaction ID in column I (picture 2) matches the TransID in column B (picture 1). I also want to make the number negative.

Example - T8 is an order of 5 clusters, each cluster is made of 3 different balloons plus a weight, hence the multiple T8 TransID, 1 per item. My sheet already uses the Quantity column in picture 2 to update an inventory sheet - that's why I need to make the number negative.

Is there a formula that can do this for me or am I completely overthinking this whole thing?
