OK, but why not

=MAX(0,37.5-M6)

?

And if it isn't then leave blank

Thanks, Both formulas worked but when we copy the cell down the sheet if the
others cells are blank, then the 37.5 apears until numbers are entered. Can
the formula be "hidden" so cell is blank?

Difference between what?

Between 37.5 and current value?

=IF(M6<37.5, 37.5-M6, "not less")

=IF(ISNUMBER(M6),MAX(0,37.5-M6),"")

Thank You, It didn't work. Is there a way of the cell can be blank when the
cell shows 37.5
