Neil,

You don't need an IF statement at all, have a look at other responses

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Is the second IF really needed? Would not IF(B12=0,B12*0.4,0) solve the
problem more simply?

Also, since 0*0.4 = 0 it could be simplified to IF(B120,B12*0.4,0).

If the test only occurs a few times there won't be a noticable difference,
but if the test happens hundreds of times then the last formula will be
faster.

Help! If cell B12 = 0, then I need the answer to be calculated based on the
formual "B12 * .40". If cell B12 < 0, then the answer is zero.

How do I do this?
