Default SUM up diferences with a criteria

Hi,

I don't understand. Summing numbers in a range that are greater than zero
can be done with:-

=SUMIF(B1:B5,"0",B1:B5)

But in this case you don't want to use column B so how are the numbers in
column B arrived at.

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with someting I need to do. I need to SUM up diferences
with a criteria!! For example:
A B
1 1.544 -322 (A2-A1)
2 1.222 0 (A3-A2)
3 1.222 541 (A4-A5)
4 1.763 37 (A5-A4)
5 1.800 -563 ..........

Total needed = is the sum of positive differences 541+37 = 578
I would like to know if there is a formula which gives me this result (578)
without using the collumn B ??

Can you help me? thanks.
