Subtraction of 2 numbers/cells
Could anyone please help me with this situation (in Excel 2003):
I have 2 cells A1 = 0 and B1 = 10 In cell C1 i put this formula C1=A1-B1 . Now the answer will be C1= -10 but my question is: Is there a formula to calculate in C1 the result if the answer is positive and if the answer is negative to put 0? Thank you in advance. |

Try one of two:
=(A1-B1)*(A1B1) =(A1-B1)*(A1=B1) Micky "Cipri" wrote: Could anyone please help me with this situation (in Excel 2003): I have 2 cells A1 = 0 and B1 = 10 In cell C1 i put this formula C1=A1-B1 .

But do not put the zero in quotes, that will make it text
