Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Hello, based on your sample it would be this:

Excel Formula:
=IF(AND(A2<0,B2<0),A2-B2,A2+B2)

But is it a general rule that when both are lower than 0 it is A - B and in every other case it is A + B?
