Is there a quick way to get the sum of only positive or negative numbers.
I have 21 columns, some cells will be positive and some will be negative, but none will be zero.
In column 22 I would like the sum of all the positive numbers and in column 23 the sum of all the negative.

Thank you.

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for that, works great.
If anyone else is using this and you want to turn the negative to a positive just add x-1 at the end of the formula.

Another way...
=ABS(SUMIF(A2:U2,"<0"))

and a macro if you want it...
Code:
Sub SumRng()
    Range("V2:V" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).FormulaR1C1 = "=SUMIF(RC[-21]:RC[-1],"">0"")"
    Range("W2:W" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).FormulaR1C1 = "=ABS(SUMIF(RC[-22]:RC[-2],""<0""))"
    With Range("V2:W" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
        .Value = .Value
    End With
End Sub
