I want to calculate two cells and have the answer showing a negative or
positive answer in another cell

Bennyboy,

Please provide more information:

--What are the cells?
--What is the data in the cells?
--What is the calculation to be performed?
--What cell do you want this calculation in?



Cell A1: 2
Cell A2: 4
Cell A3: =A2+A1
(Cell A3 will show 6)
Cell A4: =A2-A1
(Cell A4 will show 2)
Cell A5: =A1-A2
(Cell A5 will show -2)

HTH,

Conan

Two cells to calculate are A1 and A2

In A3 enter =A1+A2

If the answer to A3 is negative it will show negative, if positive it will show
positive.
