I have a table that has SeqID, BoxID, Sku, Qty. I have multiple boxes of the same item and want to subtract from the Qty with the lowest SeqID only. What are some examples of doing this?

re: Subtracting from lowest value

Use MIN() to find which one has the lowest value. Then subtract it from there.
