Hey George... I tried that out. I don't get an error which is good... but my
F30 cell say -1, when my F23 says 81. I'd like it to be 80. Any idea's?

Thanks again!

Correct?", IF(F23+J28-F2980,-F24, F23+J28-F29))

Total = F23+J28-F29
If Total is less than 80 then Show Message otherwise, if Total is greater
than 80 then show -F24 otherwise, (Total must equal 80 to get here) show
Total.

Q: If this formula is going into cell F30, rather than -F24, don't you mean
F23+J28-F29 - F24?

HTH,

With the help of a Community member, the following formula works....

=IF(F23+J28-F29<80,"The Total does not equal 80 Hours. Is this
Correct?",F23+J28-F29)

However... I need to add this (or something that will function correctly)
to the same formula... IF(F23+J28-F2980,-F24)

I need the cell to subtract cell F24 if it is greater than 80.

I had this... but it doesn't work...
=IF(F23+J28-F29<80,"The Total does not equal 80 Hours. Is this
Correct?",F23+J28-F29),IF(F23+J28-F2980,-F24)

================================
What I am trying to accomplish is: F30 is the Total hours for 2 weeks. It
should be 80. If it is greater than 80, I need to subract the difference,
which should already be present in the Comp Time cell (F24), which should
bring the Total back to 80. If it is less than 80, it will give the value
from the formula above that works.

Again thx for any help. I have been trying to get these to work on my own
before turning to help... but it keeps giving me errors. :(

All is appreciated!
