Sum If functions
Sorry to do this as i think its a very basic formula its just i dont use them
often.. I need to calculate Z5 - X5 but not if Z5 is blank (or zero). Any help would be great or where exactly i should look as ive tried a few different formulas from excel help but theyre not working.. |
Sum If functions
You suject line mentions "sum if functions" but your explanation suggests
otherwise. I need to calculate Z5 - X5 I take that to mean: Z5 minus X5 If that's what you want try this: =IF(Z5=0,"",Z5-X5) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Scott R" wrote in message ...

Hi,
I wasnt totally sure of the function.. I actually need Z5 - X5 but not if Z5 = 0, i think the formula i have says if it does = 0? "T.

Sum If functions
the formula below is correct, translation:
if Z5 = 0 then make the cell blank which you do by using two double quotation marks. This portion is the 'IF,THEN' part of the function. The next portion is the ELSE part. It says that if Z5 does not = 0 then perform the function. all statements starting with IF use the same basic principle of IF,THEN,ELSE in those three segments in that order. each segment can contain as many nested IF statements and other functions as necessary.
