    Question Adding positive and negative numbers

    Hello,

    I need a formula that multiplies two columns that may have a negative number(s). I need the negative numbers to be subtracted.

    I was trying the following formula: =SUMPRODUCT(L93:L104*N93:N104)---however it was subtracted the negative number twice. For example if the total was 130 and then a -5 was put in... the result would be 120 instead of 125.

    Can you give a sample of what is in L93:L104 and N93:N104... I don't see what you mean.
