Default Need formula

I have a spread sheet that calculates a range of cells but would like to have
it return blank if less than 0. The formula I have is =SUM(F5:R5)-C5-D5+B5,
what do I need to do?

Thank you

Try
=IF((SUM(F5:R5)-C5-D5+B5) < 0, "",SUM(F5:R5)-C5-D5+B5)
where you are using
=SUM(F5:R5)-C5-D5+B5

This did not return anything except an error.
