negative value
I have created a soreadsheet with a field called 'Less 15% Reserve'.
want it to calculate the 15% amount based only if a positive numbe appears in the cell used for calculation, not if that amount is negative amount. How do I create the formula that would leave the cel at a '0' if in fact the calculator cell is a negative number? Please help!
