need a formula to exclude negatives

[Jellyroll1970]

Basic formula - =SUM(C7-D7)...ok easily accomplished but I don't want a negative number to show up. If the sum D7 from C7 is less than 0 it should go no lower than 0.

 

[kchiba]

=if(sum(c7:d7)<0,0,sum(c7:d7))

 

[kchiba]

sorry, I think you are saying that fi C7 > D7 then 0


ok try this


=if(Sum(C7-D7)<0,0,Sum(C7-D7))

 

[Jellyroll1970]

sweet, you rock.

thank you very much.

You don't need the Sum to do the maths, try

=if(C7-D7<0,0,C7-D7)

or to simplify even more

=(D7<C7)*(C7-D7)

Hi,


Another alternative


=MAX(0,C7-D7)
