Hello,

I want make a calculation and if negative to make it zero, while if possitive to leave it as is.

I write it as:

[]=IF(($D$123-D30*$D$10/$D$21)>0,$D$123-D30*$D$10/$D$21,0)[]


Is there a way to make it shorter without having to repeat it twice in the formula because it gets very long?

Thanks!

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.

How about:

=max($D$123-D30*$D$10/$D$21, 0)
