Default if the # is a negative #, then show 0

I cant seem to figure out how to make a formula that when it performs its
calculation and the answer is a negative #, i want it to just show "0".
Is it a IF command?

thanks

This could get you into difficulties if you intend to perform further
calculations on an answer that is now incorrect but here you go

=IF(B14-A14<0,0,B14-A14)

assumes you are subtracting B14 from A14. Modify to suit.
