Ah ok, thanks for clearing things up. Is there any way to subtract from another variable other than A?
The registers aren't like BASIC variables, they are constantly changing and will practically never hold long-term values (with the possible exception of the index registers), so generally if you want to subtract two 8-bit numbers you will put the number you want to subtract from into a first. You can also add negative numbers to simulate subtraction, for example if you want to do "e-a", you can do:

Code:
neg    ; (this is basically "a * -1 -> a")
add a,e
...essentially, you are doing "-a + e".

If you want to do something like e-d, that's more straightforward:

Code:
ld e,a
sub d
...essentially loading e into a and then doing a-d.

You can also use SBC (subtract with carry) to subtract a 16-bit register from hl, just watch out for the carry. If the carry is set it will subtract an extra 1.
Sorry with the broken link. There was a problem with the OneDrive Sync on Windows 10 TP build 9879, so I downloaded the table document, deleted the table document from OneDrive, and re-uploaded the table document.

Here's the new link:

I like this idea, and I added a couple more. At one point I was working on a list like this as well as a tutorial. I have no clue where it went Razz GOod luck!

I think the last two are backwards, you've got the assembly in the BASIC section and the BASIC in the asm side.
