Default Enter only positive numbers

This sounds so stupid but I can't find an answer. How do I force users to input only positive amounts in a cell. I would like that 0 would also be an acceptable value but no negative amounts.

You could create a dummy entry form and then reference that cell on your calc
sheet with;

=abs(a1)
