Help with making a formula

[stockman]

Hi

cell J6 has the following formula:

=IFERROR(((H6-E$5)/H6),"")

I want to return the result "0" to cell J6 if the result of this formula is a negative number. How do I do that?

Thanks.

=iferror(iferror((h6-e$5)/h6)^0.5,)^2,"")

Try this:
=IFERROR(IF((H6-E$5)/H6<0,0,(H6-E$5)/H6),"")

Or:

=IFERROR(MAX((H6-E$5)/H6,0),"")

Sorry but I now think I asked a bit wrong.

If H6 in the formula is a negative number, then I want J6 to show "0"

Agian sorry for asking wrong.

Slightly different!!

=IF(H6<0,0,IFERROR((H6-E$5)/H6,""))

[Phuocam]

=IFERROR(IF(H6<0,0,(H6-E$5)/H6),"")

Thanks you so much!!

It worked like I wanted.
