FORMULA WHICH IGNORES POSITIVE VALUES
Any of the following:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A4<0)*(A1:A4)) =SUMIF(A1:A4,"<0",A1:A4) =SUM(IF(A1:A4<0,A1:A4)) The last is an array formula and must be committed with Ctrl + Shift + Enter (CSE) Peter Atherton "CHAKES" wrote: HI I NEED KNOW IF THERE'S A SUM FORMULA {=SUM(A1:A4)} WHICH TOTALLY IGNORES POSITIVE VALUES AND ADDS ONLY THE NEGATIVE VALUES?
