    Formula to return a minimum value in a cell

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me.

    I have this simple formula in cell Q1 =SUM(P1*L1), but within cell Q1 if the sum is going to be less than 0.55, I would like it to stay at 0.55 and not go any lower. There is no maximum value.

    I would be so relieved if someone could help, I think I'm asking the wrong questions in google to find my solution

    Many Thanks

    Jam

    You dont need to use SUM() when multiplying (or adding) 2 numbers together, all you need is A1*B1 or A1+B1
    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
