Thanks for your quick response.

For those with F20, the field with the results of the very complicated
formula should be blank. The spreadsheet tracks investments. Column F is
Sales. The column which contains the huge formula is Column I, Market Value
Change. If there's a value in Column F, it means that the stock was sold and
therefore there is no market value change to put in Column I. I hope that
makes sense...the whole thing makes my head spin.

Does that information change your suggestion for combining the statements?

I really appreciate the help!

(If I were doing this in Crystal Reports, I'd use If...Then...Else. I had no
idea how to do "else" in Excel.)

I'd like to combine three conditional statements into one statement.
The three conditionals:
=IF(E20,H2-E2,"")
=IF(F20,"","")
=IF(AND(E2=0,F2=0),H2-D2,"")
Is this possible?

Certainly. But first, you need to specify exactly
what you want in English or in unambiguous logical
terms. The above is not 100% clear. My guess is
you mean: if E20 (regardless of F2), then H2-E2;
else (E2<=0, so ...) if E2=0 and F2=0, then H2-D2;
else (E2<=0 and F2<0), so ...) blank (""). That
can be written:

=IF(E20,H2-E2,IF(AND(E2=0,F2=0),H2-D2,""))

FYI, your second IF() expression (F20) is nonsense.
It says return blank ("") regardless of the value of F2.
I doubt that is what you intended, based on your third
IF() expression. That led me to my interpretation
above.
