Simple Adding/Subtraction and format of cell. - HELP!!!
Hi Everyone,
I am having a bit of problem wit subtraction. if Cell A1 = 100 and Cell B1 = 500, C1 = A1 - B1 will return - 400. I don't want to see any negative sign infront of the result. I have list of numbers in Columns A1:A50, Columns B1:B50 and C1:C50 will have my result of A - B. Not all cells in Column A have greater value than Column B. 1. I just want the difference in positive numbers. How do I do that? 2. if my cell has numbers in custom format of [mm]. How do I change them into normal numbers without them being changed to some weird date figures? Thank you for your help in advance! |

1. =ABS(A1-B1)
2. If you want the number of minutes, use =A1*24*60 and format as General or Number, not as date or time. -- David Biddulph "James8309" wrote in message ...
