AFTER CREATING A FORMULAR USING 3 CELLS I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY NEGATIVE
NUMBER IS SHOWN AND CALCULATED AS ZERO WHICH I KNOW HOW TO DO BUT I NEED TO
ALSO BE ABLE TO ENTER A MAXIMUM EG

=MAX(C4-D4,0) WILL GIVE ME A ZERO NUMBER BUT HOWE DO I CREAT A MAXIMUM
i WANT THE ANSWER NOT TO EXCEED 4300 AND THE MINIMUM TO BE 0
THANKYOU

Hi Garry
Try
=MIN(MAX(C4-D4,0),4300)

Where you currently have =your_formula, instead use
=min(4300,max(0,your_formula))
Evaluate from the inside out: max(0,xx) puts a floor of 0 on the result;
then min(4300,yy) applies a ceiling of 4300.
