How to put Zero in a cell
i have created a balance sheet with this formula to calculate the remaining
balance =SUM(E5-D6+C6) However this leaves the value from the cell the calculation was taken from i.e if cell E5 returns a value of 200 the cell E6 returns the same value. How can i make cell E6 return a 0 value untill data is added to either column's "C or D" I hope this is ok to understand. |

=IF(OR(C6="",D6=""),0,SUM(E5-D6+C6))

The following IF will do it for you:
=IF(OR(D6=0,C6=0),0,E5-D6+C6) Which says if D6 or C6 = 0 then 0, else E5-D6+C6 -- Kevin Backmann "Dobbin0_4" wrote: i have created a balance sheet with this formula to calculate the remaining balance =SUM(E5-D6+C6) However this leaves the value from the cell the calculation was taken from i.e if cell E5 returns a value of 200 the cell E6 returns the same value.

instead of your formula =Sum(E5-D6+C6)
use =If(Or(D6<0,C6<0),E5-D6+C6,0) Good Luck "Dobbin0_4" wrote: i have created a balance sheet with this formula to calculate the remaining balance =SUM(E5-D6+C6) However this leaves the value from the cell the calculation was taken from i.e if cell E5 returns a value of 200 the cell E6 returns the same value.

hi kevin i have tried your formula and it works partly, the problem is this
when i enter a value in C6 it doesn't show the calculation in E6 i.e. giving a value of E5+C6. But when i put a value in D6 it shows the calculation of E5-D6. I copeid you formula to the character! what am i doing wrong?!

Try this (note the AND instead of OR):
=IF(AND(D6=0,C6=0),0,E5-D6+C6) Hope this helps, Hutch "Dobbin0_4" wrote: hi kevin i have tried your formula and it works partly, the problem is this when i enter a value in C6 it doesn't show the calculation in E6 i.e. giving a value of E5+C6.

Hi Kevin B
Thanks so much for your help, I was unsure of what you meant and couldn't figure it out to start with. But now i am fully on board and it has saved me a lot of hassle with the business system i am creating. i figure that you can use the if/or function for pretty much anything. Am i right? need to get the excel bible!
