How can I suppress 'FALSE' label?

I need a cell in my spreadsheet to show a "difference" value when the value in a reference cell (G25) exceeds 8. I have put the following formula in the reference cell =MIN(8,SUM(G25)) and the following formula in the "difference" cell =IF(SUM(G25)>8,SUM(G25-8)). The formulas work when there is a value in the reference cell, but when the reference cell is zero, 'FALSE' appears in the difference cell. Is there any way of getting rid of the FALSE?

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Yes you can replace it with whatever you want

=IF(SUM(G25)>8,SUM(G25-8), "whatever you want")

If you want it blank, use ""

mikerickson, thanks for your quick response. That did the trick! I used "0.00" for consistency with other cells.
