    Arrow Adding to a formula

    Hi Guys

    I work with a spreadsheet for annual leave but the one thing I can't seem to get is when for example I use my total leave and end up with a minus I don't know what to add to the formula so it will show a minus x amount of hours.
    formula query.docx

    hope you can help

    Excel does not like negative time values. It will fill the cell with ##### when that happens.

    If you have a legitimate need for negative times, then use this formula. Replace yourformula with your entire formula shown in your screenshot.

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    This will be fine for display but you won't be able to do arithmetic on it.

    By the way, taking a screenshot, pasting into Word, then attached Word is a really roundabout way of doing things. Next time just attach your Excel file. Then we can test formulas.
