Cannot understand the syntax of this formula

[infuse]

Hi

I have this simple formula.

=IF(H5>0,(+F5)/H5, " ")

I know what this formula deos. My question is why that "+" sign infront of "F5"
I have a lot of different fomulas in this spreadsheet and i have seen that "+" in almost everyformula, which to me does not do anything.

Anyone know why is that thier?

THanks in advance

Hello,

I may be wrong, but I think that comes from Lotus 123, a guy here always puts a + in front of the formulas.

I guess you are right. The guy who made this excel sheet, used to work with Lotus 123

Thanks once again
