    Negative Cell Help

    Hello,
    I am working with a cell/formula that is for a breakeven analysis. The breakeven is based on savings from a new payment compared to a current payment for a client. I don't have an issue in formatting to a positive number. However, if the number is negative, I want to reflect "zero" but if the number is positive I want it to reflect the actual breakeven as a positive number.

    FYI- The formula is formatted in the form of months, although > than 12 months would result in years than months.

    TIA to all!

    Yes, understand, thanks! I was trying to figure out how to get an example for you to view without loading the entire worksheet. I will work on this and upload it.

    Or, are you referencing the Commercial Services Route?

    Not referring to Commercial Services. We do not need your entire workbook. We would like a representative sample of 8-10 records and a mocked up solution.

    I want it to reflect the actual breakeven as a positive number.

    I am also trying to choose which columns to hide if I don't want them to be shown which I also highlighted in Yellow as well (top).
    In other words, being able to omit a specific column if necessary.


    Thanks for your help and patience while I learn using this forum.

    Hello patrick10 and Welcome to Excel Forum.
    As to the formula to display zero instead of negative numbers try pasting the following into cell C21 and copying across:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    As to hiding columns you could use the following formula to copy only those columns that have values greater than zero in row 21 to a new sheet, however note that the formula will not transfer the column formatting to the new sheet:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
