Help with negative number please
Hello,
Appreciate any help please For example In O10:O1000 I have numbers such as... 56.50 100.00 -100.00 324.66 etc! In Q10 I have the number in O10 less 5% In Q11 I have =+IF(O11="","",Q10+O11/100*95) to keep a running total of the numbers in column "O" less 5% This is working fine until I come to a negative number in column "O" i.e. -100.00, when the number is negative I don't want to deduct 5%, how can I change the formula to do this please. Regards, Eamon |

Dave,
When I copy and past =IF(O11<0),O11,IF(O11="","",Q10+(O11/100)*95)) into Q11 I get the message the formula you typed contains an error and when I click OK "<0" the "0" is highlighted in black.

Your parentheses don't match, & the error being highlighted is that you
don't have enough arguments for the first IF statement. To cure that, try =IF(O11<0,O11,IF(O11="","",Q10+(O11/100)*95)) or =IF(O11<0,O11,IF(O11="","",Q10+O11*95%)) But that may not be what you want. If you're trying to produce a cumulative total, you may want something more like =IF(O11<0,Q10+O11,IF(O11="",Q10,Q10+O11*95%)) -- David Biddulph "Eamon" wrote in message ...

Re the error only, it looks like the if got "closed" early. Try this:
=IF(O11<0,O11,IF(O11="","",Q10+(O11/100)*95)) -- Kevin Vaughn "Eamon" wrote: Dave, When I copy and past =IF(O11<0),O11,IF(O11="","",Q10+(O11/100)*95)) into Q11 I get the message the formula you typed contains an error and when I click OK "<0" the "0" is highlighted in black.

Just tried =IF(O11<0,Q10+O11,IF(O11="",Q10,Q10+O11*95%)) and works perfect many thanks. Thanks to David F as well. Your efforts are much appreciated. Thanks again.
