Hello,
I was wondering how to combine an IF calculation to end in an ABS within the same formula. For example
CELLS
A1=-5
A2=-6

IF(A1="","",((A1+A2)))

The end result will be -11, but I dont want that. I would like to include the absolute value function (ABS) within the IF function so it would return 11 (positive).
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Better solution provided.
