Default Instead of a negative number, I'd like to show zero...

=IF(D14=0,0,IF(F14=0,(D14-C14)*24,SUM((D14-C14)*24,(F14-E14)*24)))
If D14=0 then 0, else if F14=0 then D14-C14 else your original formula.

I have created a virtual timecard. Everything works good except, if I haven't
filled in all my time in and time out cells, my result is a negative
number.
I would prefer that the result is blank unless there is a whole number.

My structure is as follows:

Cell C14 Clock In Format h:mm
Cell D14 Clock Out Format h:mm
Cell E14 Clock In Format h:mm
Cell F14 Clock Out Format h:mm
Cell J14 Total Hours Formula =SUM((D14-C14)*24,(F14-E14)*24)

The result of my efforts are as follows:

When - Scenario # 1

Cell C14 Clock In 6:45
Cell D14 Clock Out Blank
Cell E14 Clock In Blank
Cell F14 Clock Out Blank
Cell J14 Total Hours -6.75

When- Scenario # 2

Cell C14 Clock In 6:45
Cell D14 Clock Out 12:00
Cell E14 Clock In Blank
Cell F14 Clock Out Blank
Cell J14 Total Hours 5.25

When- Scenario # 3

Cell C14 Clock In 6:45
Cell D14 Clock Out 12:00
Cell E14 Clock In 12:30
Cell F14 Clock Out Blank
Cell J14 Total Hours -7.25

When- Scenario # 4

Cell C14 Clock In 6:45
Cell D14 Clock Out 12:00
Cell E14 Clock In 12:30
Cell F14 Clock Out 16:00
Cell J14 Total Hours 8.75

I don't want the negative numbers to show in the Total Hours Cell, instead
I
would like:

In Scenario # 1, I would like Cell J14 to be Blank
In Scenario # 3, I would like Cell J14 to be equal to that of Scenario #
2.

I have tried several variations of IF statements, and I've yet to type in
the correct syntax.

Can someone direct me down the right path?

Respectfully,
Darrell
