Show text field if SUM returns zero value?
I have set up a Worksheet in Excel 2000 that calculates the difference (using
SUM) of two cells in a row and displays the result in a third cell, which, of course, contains the formula. If the result is zero, I would like to display a text message in the aforementioned third cell. So far, I have tried to add on a logical IF statement to the formula already in the cell, but I can't seem to hit on the correct syntax. |

Try something like this:
=IF(SUM(A1:B1),SUM(A1:B1),"your_text_message_here_ inside_the_quotes") Biff "KevinG1" wrote in message ...
