    Require simple increase/decrease formual that does not result in a %

    Hello all,

    I'm asking for help to solve a formula issue.

    I need to find the resulting increase/decrease between two numbers showing in cell D2 with out a percentage. Just whole numbers either positive or negative.

    I have to have cell showing the + or - with the number.

    The cell ranges I'm working in are

    B2 and C2 with the result populating in D2 with the negative or positive integer showing

    examples are :

    cellb2= 7
    Cellc2= 4
    Celld2=???????????

    cellb2=4
    cellc2=7
    celld2=???????????
    Thank you all in advance.

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    Not sure which way round you need this, but either...
    =B2-C2
    or
    =C2-B2
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Hello, thank you for the answer and welcome.

    In cellD2 I need to show the number with a + sign when it's positive.

    after than I think I can tie a ribbon on this thread and call it closed.

    Custom format the cell as +0;-0;0
