Hi,

I need to set up a function that converts a negative number to a zero. For
example, I'm setting up a table to find out the amount of "required
activities" my employees should have based on sales, but I do not want the
number of "required activities" to be negative if they've sold a lot in a day.

For example: the employees are required to do 30 "activities" in a day. For
every sale they do, they are allowed 5 less activites. =30-(#of sales x 5)
However if they sell more than 6, the number becomes negative.

Thanks, I appreciate the help!!
