add up negative numbers
Hi Ron
I think it is possibly the additional 0's that get created with your
formula in column H that is misleading the OP.
My slight amendment repeated the previous value when there is a blank or
0 in column G.
Maybe what he really wants is
=IF(G2=0,"",IF(G20,0,IF(G1="",H1,N(H1))-G2))

I think you'll need to clarify what you need. I think I'm missing
something....
These are the Col_G values (G3:G17) and the Col_H results from my
formula:
Col_G Col_H
-5 5
-5 10
-5 15
0
22.5 0
-7 7
-7 14
0
-5 19
-5 24
-5 29
0
-7 36
12 0
-7 7
The calculated values match what you posted.....hence my puzzlement.

Thanks Ron for your input
There's one thing with your formula , it needs to accumulate
all the entries in column "H" from zero to zero .
G H
-5.0 5.0
-5.0 10.0
-5.0 15.0
22.5 0.0 (because of positive figure in column (G)
-7.0 7.0
-7.0 14.0
-5.0 19.0
-5.0 24.0
-5.0 29.0
-7.0 36.0 ....(sum because of negative figures in
12.0 0.0 column (G) from zerro to zerro)
-7.0 7.0
I apologise for not making my last post very clear
thank you
regards bill

Try something like this:
With
Col_G containing numbers (pos or neg) or blanks, beginning in G3
Try this:
H3: =IF(G3=0,0,IF(G2="",H1,N(H2))-G3)
Copy that formula down as far as needed
Is that something you can work with?

Hi
I have a column "G" with negative numbers, positive numbers and
zero's.
Column "H" is the column that adds up all the negative numbers
from
column "G" . When there is a positive number greater than zero i
need
column "H" to show a zero from the corresponding cell in column
"G"
e.g
G H
-5.0 5.0
-5.0 10.0
-5.0 15.0
22.5 0.0
0.0 0.0
0.0 0.0
-7.0 7.0
42.5 0.0
-7.0 7.0
-8.0 15.0
-6.0 21.0
0.0 0.0
5.5 0.0
-12.5 12.5
-20.0 32.5
-8.0 40.5
There is a empty row between each set of three entrie's
Could any one help me with this please
