Hi, I have 3 columns, Amount A, Amount B and Total.
A is a formula pulling a dollar amount from another cell
B is an amount entered manually
Total is the total of those two, Total is =MAX formula (so I don't see an amount less than 0)


Question; How do I get the "Total" column to show blank until a figure is entered into B?


Amount A Amount B Total
$ 2,470.00 $ 1,150.00 $ 1,320.00
$ 2,470.00 $ 2,470.00
$ 2,470.00 $ 2,470.00
$ 2,470.00 $ 2,470.00
$ 2,470.00 $ 2,470.00

<colgroup><col _mce_style="mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3437; width: 71pt;"><col _mce_style="mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3547; width: 73pt;"><col _mce_style="mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 4681; width: 96pt;"></colgroup><tbody>

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Here's one way:

3$2,470.00$1,150.00$1,320.00
4$2,470.00 
5$2,470.00 
6$2,470.00 
7$2,470.00

D5=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(C5)),B5-C5,"")
D6=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(C6)),B6-C6,"")
D7=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(C7)),B7-C7,"")

Thanks for that, I should have explained initially, the formula is based on A - B = Total. The Total could be a negative amount, but I don't want the negative to show. That's why I had the following in D3; =MAX(0,B3-C3).

Is there any way to combine the IF and MAX formula?
