Answer: calculate the difference between negative and positive values
To calculate the difference between negative and positive values in Excel, follow these steps:
- In a new cell, subtract the current month's costing from the previous month's costing. For example, if the previous month's costing was $100 and the current month's costing is -$200, the formula would be "=100-(-200)".
- Excel will automatically calculate the difference and display the result in the cell.
- To display the result as "$100 less" instead of "-$100", you can use the IF function. Here's how:
- In a new cell, type "=IF(cell<0, "$"&ABS(cell)&" less", "$"&cell)". Replace "cell" with the cell reference of the cell where you calculated the difference.
- Excel will display the result as "$100 less" instead of "-$100".
