Update a filed based on another

My problems is 'circular reference', without getting this error, I can't find a logical way of solving my problem.

My problem is this.

Field A - Field B = Field C, I need the Result in Field C to update Filed A.

Field A = Current Stock
Field B = Stock used
Field C = Stock Left

I need Field A updated so that I can establish an effective re-order point.

Re: Excel Circular Reference

It seems logical to me that the stock you have on hand, in column C, should be used to establish a re-order point.

Column A is stock you started out with.
Column B is stock that has been removed from what you started with.
Column C is stock that can be physically counted, and when that count is reduced to a certain number decided by by, or zero, its time to re-order.
