Setting up a formula for a running deduction, ideally with total column staying blank until new deduction entered

https://preview.redd.it/2vaahyo2fx3h1.jpg?width=407&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6537585ffb5ae3eaa125b18950d73d34cb926cb

The above screenshot shows a starting balance of £100 in cell G3. As I enter a value into column F, the adjacent cell in column G shows the new balance. I've set-up a simple subtraction formula for each cell in column G that deducts the value manually entered into a cell in column F from the value given in the preceding cell in G. However, all the cells in column G display the running balance.

I have 2 questions:

  1. Is the simple subtraction formula used in each cell of column G appropriate?

  2. Is there anyway the cells in column G only display a value when a value is manually entered into the adjacent cell in column F?

Thank you for your help.
