Hi
looking at your sheet you may have posted your used formula in column F
:-)
=IF(SUM(C6-E6=0),"-",SUM(C6-E6))
Note: you're not using a FORMAT but a hardcoded string '-'. You said
you were using the accounting format (which would show a zero as '-').
So in your case simply change the formula to
=C6-E6
and apply the correct format
Your sheet containing this is on the way back to you
Note: Also no need for the SUM formulas in your case

That still gives the answer 3. The "-" is what the accounting
formatted cell
yields as the difference between two identical dates. All
numbers in
the
column are the difference between dates in two other columns.

Hi
then your '-' are probably not exact zero. Try:
=COUNTIF(A1:A20,"=-4")-COUNTIF(A1:A20,"0.001")

That formula gives the answer 3. It should be 11.

Hi
the '-' is just formated for the value zero?. If yes the
following
formulas should work
=COUNTIF(A1:A20,"=-4")-COUNTIF(A1:A20,"0")
or
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A20=-4),--(A1:A20<=0))
adapt the ranges to your needs

I get the right answer from the first formula you all
gave,
Bob,
Bernie & Frank. But the other formulas are not working.
I
will
give
you the exact numbers in the column I'm working with now,
where
the
formula should yield 11: -

-
(1)
(1)
(1)
3

There are eight "-" and three numbers in the range of (4)
to
breaking
even (the "-").

1. I have a formula I want to change and am not sure
how.
=IF(COUNT(L17:L33)=0,"",COUNTIF(L17:L33,"<0"))
I want to now count all numbers from negative 4 and
more.
In
case
I'm not explaining this properly, if the column as these
negative
numbers (5), (3), (7), (8), (1), if would count only 3.
2. I have another formula that needs changing:
=IF(COUNT(L17:L33)="","",COUNTIF(L17:L33,"-"))
First of all, please note, the "-" is not text. It's
the
result
of
breaking even in an accounting formatted column. Okay,
what
I
need
changed is that it would count all numbers from negative
4
to
the
breaking even point. Again, in case I'm not explaining
myself
properly, if a column has these numbers: (4), (1), 8,
1, -,
(2),
it
will count 4 from this colum.
Thank you
