Hello,

I want make a calculation and if negative to make it zero, while if possitive to leave it as is.

I write it as:

[]=IF(($D$123-D30*$D$10/$D$21)>0,$D$123-D30*$D$10/$D$21,0)[]


Is there a way to make it shorter without having to repeat it twice in the formula because it gets very long?

Thanks!

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.

How about:

=max($D$123-D30*$D$10/$D$21, 0)
