Well, it would be helpful if __you__ told us what is wrong with it.

That is, what does it do that you don't like? And what result do you want
when C1=C2, C1<C2 and C2C1?

We are not mindreaders. But sometimes our wild-a.s.s guesses hit the mark.
Perhaps one of the following meets your needs:

=IF(C1=C2,"",C2-C1)

or

=IF(C1=C2,"",ABS(C2-C1))

(The latter assumes you have a typo in the last term of your IF expression,
among other mistakes.)
