excel range formulas
 

I need a formula that will allow me to see how far below or above a set range
my data point is. If this isnt clear ill draw it out. I have a return of 8
and i have a range of 10 to 17. I want a formula that will tell me that is
-2 and vice versa if the data point was above the range come back as a
positive number. Is there a formula that will evaluate all of this on its
own?
