    calculate bonus at 30% of a figure, negative figures to be given 0 bonus.

    Hello !
    I`m a total "no idea" at excel, I really appreciate the help here !

    I`m wanting to calculate a bonus of 30% of a given column of figures, negative figures to be given zero bonus.

    Then another column after that as "net bonus", being taxed at 37%. Again not including the negative figures.

    I`ve attached the spreadsheet here to show the last 2 columns I need help with.

    Here!

    Put this in Cell G2 - =IF(F2>0,SUM(F2*30%),0)

    Put this in Cell H2 - =G2-(G2*37%)

    And drag down..
    Cheers!

    Re: calculate bonus at 30% of a figure, negative figures to be given 0 bonus.

    I tried typing this into the cell, IF(F2>0,F2*30%,0)

    saying if the value of F2 is greater than zero, then calculate the bonus as 30% of that figure. But nothings happening in the cell afte pressing enter...

    try

    G2=MAX(0,F2*30%)
    H2=G2*(1-37%) OR G2*63%

    Re: calculate bonus at 30% of a figure, negative figures to be given 0 bonus.

    Actually i`ve just realized today, I want to "lock" the formula`s into the columns that have formula`s, so people cannot delete them by entering figures manually.

    columns D,F,G, and H need to be locked from manual changes, they should only update when the other columns are changed...

    How would I do this?
    kind regards.
