    Formula Calculatio

    I am trying to determine what is the best method to calculate a balance due on my spreadsheet.
    I have a Pledge field which is (-) and amount received which consists of three columns. So I only want to calculate the pledge balance if the Pledge column contains a number greater than zero. See attached.

    Try this in K2:

    =IF(F2="","",-F2+J2)

    This works, but need a little more info. If this is false or column F2 is blank, how to I get the results in K2 to be blank or zero instead of the word False?

    I tried 63FalconDude's formula in your sheet and it seems to give you what you want. It returns a blank if F2 is blank and for your examples does not return a false.
    Can you be more specific about what your issue is?

    Welcome to the forum! Please take a moment to re-read forum rule #1 and then amend your thread title to something that better explains your problem. Changing your thread title is not optional, which means you must change it. Thanks!

    • Use concise, accurate thread titles.
    • Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.
    • Use terms appropriate to a Google search - poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice tell us nothing.
    • Responding to a request to change your thread title by doing so is mandatory.

    To change a title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title.

    No help to be offered, please, until the OP complies with this request.
