How to set the value to zero if it negative after the substract
Please advise
Q1: When applying the formula, D will show -38 but i need excel to change it to zero and recongized it as number zero, otherwise when I multiple other cell with this cell it will give value - Example 1. Q2: However, I would also need cell D1 to reflect the number if it is not zero or negative number - Example 2 Example 1 A1 - 01 Mar 2001 (Start Date) B1 - 01 Mar 2006 (End Date) C1 - 31 May 2008 (Audit Date) D1 - (YEAR(B1)-YEAR(C1))*12+MONTH(B1)-MONTH(C1) = 0 instead of -38 Example 2 A1 - 01 Mar 2001 (Start Date) B1 - 01 Jun 2010 (End Date) C1 - 31 May 2008 (Audit Date) D1 - I had this formula in cell D1: (YEAR(B1)-YEAR(C1))*12+MONTH(B1)-MONTH(C1) = 25 |

How convert to hours & minutes
Hi Rick,
Thank you very much. I had another question posted in the threat but there is no replied. Perhaps can you tried to help me out too. The function I need, seem to be very much complicated to figure out by myself. I need to calculate the time & power consumption A1 - A2 are data input, A3 is result and I would liked to insert formula to do the calculation A1 : 2,500 (Qty) A2 : 23 (Qty Output in 1 minute) A3 : Time required (Round up to the next higher minute) Please advise, is my formula is correct and can you advise me how do I do convert the result into hour and minutes as A3 show 1.82 A3 : roundup(A1/A2/60) = 1.82 "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote: Assuming Row 1... =IF(D1=0,0,E1/D1) Rick "TSK" wrote in message ...

How convert to hours & minutes
Firstly, if you look in excel help for the ROUNDUP function, you'll see that
it needs a second argument, the number of digits. Secondly, Excel times are in unit of one day, so you'll need to divide by 24 hours. Try =ROUNDUP(A1/A2,0)/(60*24) and format as [h]:mm or whatever format suits you. -- David Biddulph "TSK" wrote in message ... Hi Rick, Thank you very much.
