zero display
Experiment with other options if you need to.
Also, look up "number format" in Excel help for other options.
Does that help?

Ok hope you guys can help:
A1= x
A2= y
A3= A1-A2
If the answer is a positive number I want it to remain as a positive
number
-but-
If the answer is a negative number, I wish for it to be displayed
without the "-" sign before the number so it looks like it's a positive
number. But I also want it to hold it's negative value so that it can be
used later on.
Example:
A1= 5
A2= 8
A3= A1-A2
A3 Normally displays "-3", I want it to display "3".
But I also need it so that if I make A4=A3, then A4 will display "-3"
Hope this makes sense to someone!
Thanks in advance,
Teddy
