I have formulated my columns as needed. My final cell (J) needs to be
formulated where it will not end up as a negative.
EX.A
formulated cell (I) total is 230. Final cell (J) needs to be minus
240, but
total needs to be 0. not -10.
EX.B
formulated cell (I) total is 300. Final cell (J) needs to be minus
240,
total s/b 60.

Im sure there is a way, but I do not know it.
Can someone help?
Thanks Tee
