blank if sum is less than 0
 

I'm trying to get a blank (or even a 0) if the sum is 0 or less.

Here's what I have in the cell SUM(D14-E14)

I have answers that go negative [-2, -5, etc] but I'm trying to just see a
number in the cell only if the value is greater than 0.

Thanks

Then you want:

=if(d14<e14,0,d14-e14)

You don't need the Sum function to do arithmetic. You only need when you are
summing numbers.

Freds --

=IF(SUM(D14-E14)0,SUM(D14-E14),"")

Should do the trick for you.

Thanks- Hide quoted text -

=max(D14-E14,0) but you might like this better: =max (sum(d14,-e14),
0) The coma is missing from your formula although it may not make any
difference, and if you want nothing instead of a 0 =IF(D4-
E4)<=0,"",D4-E4).

All-

Thanks for your help.

I tried them all and the formula below worked best for what I needed to do [
all the formulas worked, but this one was a closer match ].

Again, thanks for helping. It is truly appreciated.
