Hi,

Could someone tell me what's wrong with this formula?

=IF((C1=C2),"",OR(IF((C1C2),"C2-C1"),OR(IF((C1<C2),"C2-C1"))

Thank you.


Hi,

I assume that what you are trying to do is show a blank cell if C1=C2
but if C1 is greater than C2, or C2 is greater than C1, then you want
to show the value of C2 minus C1?

Currently you are showing C2-C1 within quotes which would return the
text string "C2-C1" rather than a value.

If my assumption is right then this formula should work
=if(C1=C2,"",C2-C1)

Hope that helps

Alan
