Not unless the cell with 500 holds a formula, if that's the case

=IF(A1="Bounced",-(formula),formula)

Another Question...

If I enter the word "bounced" in one cell can I trigger a
value in another cell ($500.00) to become a negative
number (-$500.00)?

Regrads,

I have presumed Y and N are the only options with my

previous answer, you
could add another IF function to check for blanks or non

entry of N or Y,
like so

=IF(A1="Y",SUM(B1:D1)-E1,IF(A1="N",SUM(B1:D1),IF

(A1="","","Error")))

Is is possible to make a letter in a cell trigger an
equation. For example, if in a cell I put the letter "Y"
(for yes) it will add a group of cells then sugtract a
value from another cell to give me a total. But if I

enter
the letter "N" (for no) then it will only add a group of
cells to give me a total without subtracting a value as

it
did before?

Thanks,

Corey Brock
