Default Help in writing an Excel equation


Hi,

I couldn't figure out how to write a certain equation, and I though
you guys might be able to help me.

Here's my situation:

I have one column setup in my spreadsheet filled with many, many row
of positive and negative numbers. What I want to do is have some bo
over to the right of this immense column that lists the sum of all o
the negative numbers in the whole list, added together. Is thi
possible to accomplish? If so, could someone give me pseudo code to d
it?

Thanks for your help,

Jaso

If your mixture of positive and negative values are stored in Column A, then

=SUMIF(A:A,"<0")

will return the sum of the negative numbers in this column.
