If you still have a problem, post a screenshot of your data and explain what result you would expect. You can always ask an expert in the , get support in the , or suggest a new feature or improvement on. I see no reason for that formula to work.

The Microsoft Excel's IF function can recognize negative numbers and change them to zero without affect positive numbers. If a negative number appears, I want it to read as zero. Redirecting Of Banned Users provided by - Copyright © 2018 DragonByte Technologies Ltd.

Format negative percentages to make them easy to find

The IF statement would definitely work but be a serious hassle to do. So, wondering if there is a function to make negative numbers be zero. Not display as zero but make the result zero so follow on calculations work out correctly. H4 That formula is copied both down and across making changes.... Any easy ways to do this? This is the first thing that came to my mind, too. The OP specifies that IF statements won't do for his purposes though I didn't quite understand his reason why. Looks like the question's been answered with the suggestion to use MAX. H4 That formula is copied both down and across making changes.... I agree that from a formula standpoint, any of the three suggestions given previously will work to yield 0 if the intermediate result is negative. MAX A1,0 is the most elegant. Yet OTOH the fact that the formula is copied across and down should make this a trivial thing to change. Not sure I follow that point in the OP. Yet OTOH the fact that the formula is copied across and down should make this a trivial thing to change. Not sure I follow that point in the OP. Well, the cells being referenced in the formula do not smoothly increment cell-to-cell. It is a grid with items randomly scattered across it. Some items need A1+B1, the next may need A1+C4, the next D2+E12 and so on. You can also create a custom formatting expression, as long as you don't plan on relying on the values of the negative cells any further. Then you don't need to create another cell to convert negatives. Custom formatting expressions have sections to handle positive, negative and zero values. Right click on the cell that has the negative values you'd like to affect, select format cells. Then click on the number tab and select custom. Your custom formatting expression will be entered in the box at the top. If your numbers are decimals with say 2 digits of precision after the decimal I would enter: 0. The ACTUAL value in the cell is still negative but the formatting shows 0. You can adjust the part of that expression before the semicolor for decimals or whatever format you are using. I've used custom formatting for displaying units of measure and all kinds of crazy things and it can be pretty handy.

In the popping up Change Sign of Values dialog box, select the Change all negative value to zero option, and excel if negative then 0 click the OK button. I can't have the results be negative because that number is used again in other forumulas and the negative number throws everything off. The one I saved to my documents that hasen't been transported over the net works fine, even after opening and closing the propgram. Your situation may be different. I see no reason for that formula to work.

In a case like this, it might be beneficial to track the units sold separately from those returned.
