Yes this formula worked perfect. I have an additional question - if B1-B5
are EXCL and B6-B10 are not is there a way to show that. I tried the formula
putting B1:B5 but it did not work - can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
This is how I entered the formula:

=IF(B1:B5="EXCL",A1:A5*-1,0)

This was entered into C11. Thanks for your help.

hi
you are a bit sketchy on details so i made some up.
A5=50
B5=EXCL
in C5 enter this formula
=if(B5="EXCL",A5*-1,0)

if that is not how your data is layed out, post back with more details.

Is there a formula that I could use if it says EXCL (meaning exclude) to have
it enter that amount in another cell as a minus?
