It is not clear to me what you mean, from where do you get minus numbers?
Formulas?

=MAX(0,formula)

will return zero if the formula returns negative numbers

Perhaps these negative numbers are an indication that something is
very, very wrong in your workbook and that you need to fix things so
that these cells don't return negatives? On the other hand, if these
negatives are legitimate, then you either need to include them or sum
positive and negative values separately.

Apply a number format like #,##0.00;"0"

HTH,
