If i9 is positive then n7 should show negative
If i9 is negative then n7 should show positive
If n7 is negative then n3 should be tax L9 less N7 and multiply with 11 , After this calculation N3 shd still show have negative sign
If n7 is positive then n3 should be tax L9 plus 3.71 and multiply with 11 , After this calculation N3 shd still show have negative sign
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
I don't get the same result testing with the data and it's a bit difficult without a XL2BB table.

You may try ABS() or SIGN() function, which works regardless or depending on the positivity/negativity of the number.

Thanks for reply but my query was - My excel file recognise the cell is in positive and change to negative or vice versa. Currently I need to do myself this. Also if it is positive then this formula itself change from plus to minus or vice versa.Thanks
=-L9*11-ABS(N7)

Thanks @Sufiyan,

It worked N3 but still for n7 , I HAVE TO remember that if variance is positive then multiply * -1 and I variance is negative then multiply I9 *1.
I want if I9 is positive then N7 should show with negative. Similarly
I want if I9 is negative then N7 should show with positive.
Thanks

I think that is what it does unless you want something else.

Sorry asking again but when N7 is negative then your formula works but when I get negative N7 , then I am still getting same result, When n7 is plus means its greater then zero so N3 should less o8 like (1311.27-0.34)*11 .
Thanks

So what you want as result if N7 is positive

N3 should be negative or positive?

See if that is what you want
