Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
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?
