Thanks to all respondents, I am using

=IF(SUM(A10:M10) < 0,SUM(A10:M10),0)

and its working just fine

Hi. The sum could be zero from, say, only two values of +5, and -5.
The op will have to decide want he wants to do.

i was going to throw one out there too, but i can't really see the logic
here. if there are no numbers, you're not going to have a sum anyway.

so, = sum(a10:m10) will = 0 if here is only text or zeroes, and a value
if a number is contained in the range.

or, am i missing something?
