Hi,

I have the following code in N2

=(E2*0.1)-35

And it is showing a negative number which is correct. The issue is, I want it to show 0 if the number is negative, how can I achieve this please?

Thanks again.
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Hi,

You could test following

=IF(E2<350,0,(E2*0.1)-35)

Hope this will help

Hi,

I now have this one:

=P2*0.2

In R2, bu again would like to ensure that doesn't show a negative number (show 0 if it would have been negative).

I have tried working it out myself using the se formulas but just can't get it, can someone please help?

Thanks.

=MAX(0,P2*0.2)

should suffice.
