Adding only negative numbers in row
I have a list of numbers in a row that has both positive and negative numbers
throughout the row. Is there a way I can get a sum of only the negative numbers? The row is very long so I would rather not add the negatives one by one. Is there a formula that will seek only the negative numbers and add them all up? Thanks! |

Adding only negative numbers in row
The following formula should do the trick, just adjust the cell addresses to
match your row dimension: =SUMIF(A1:F1,"<0") -- Kevin Backmann "jordanpcpre" wrote: I have a list of numbers in a row that has both positive and negative numbers throughout the row.

Adding only negative numbers in row
Try something like this:
This formula sums the negative numbers in row 3: =SUMIF(3:3,"<0") Or...if you are using a range: This formula sums the negative numbers from A3:Z3 =SUMIF(A3:Z3,"<0") Does that help? Post back if you have more questions. -------------------------- Regards, Ron Microsoft MVP (Excel) (XL2003, Win XP) "jordanpcpre" wrote in message ...
