Need formula to change cells from negative numbers to a zero.
I am creating a work sheet with several different formulas in it (all
accounting formulas) and after entering numbers into other cells it changes some of the other cells to have a negative balance. OK, so I need to know if there is a formula that I can enter into certain cells that will change any negative balance no matter what it may be from showing the negative balance to showing a zero (0) instead? Does anyone know how to do this or have any suggestions on how I could find out? |

Use the MAX function coupled with your formula...

Try this:
=MAX(0,your_formula) If your_formula produces a negative value then this will return zero, but if your_formula is positive then that is larger than 0 and so gets returned. Hope this helps.
