Hi,

I am trying to put a custom column by subtracting Value1 from Value2, Subtraction column is the result i got from PQ
Store3 result should be -21 (null-21) & Store 5 result should be 54 (54-null). How can get the correct result

Store Value1 Value2 Subtraction
Store 1 1700 3544 1844

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Hi sady,
Hope your doing good!

if your look for Formula to do that please try with this formula "=IF((C3-B3)>0,(C3-B3),ABS((C3-B3))&" - null")"

Thanks!

Nulls aren't the same as 0. A + null = null, a - null = null etc etc

Duplicated your columns for value 1 and value 2. Replace values null --> 0 and then do the subtraction. Delete the two helper columns.
