hello. if you're subtracting what's in a2 from what's in a1 and you want your result (in a3) to show only if it's a positive number, try this formula in a3...
=if(a1-a2<1,"",a1-a2)
this says if a1-a2 is less than one (0 or less) then leave the cell blank (""), otherwise go ahead and subract the two and show me the answer...

It's not clear to me what you're trying to do.
Is it possible that you want an absolute value
as your result as in...
=ABS(2-3)
...or if you merely want a number format that
doesn't display negative values as in...
General;;General
Please be more specific!!!
