    Re: Formula to determine if a number is negative in D6 and if negative show C6?

    two questions.
    1. In what cell is the formula to be placed?
    2. What answer if the D6 is positive?

    Seems like it should be a very basic IF() function (https://support.office.com/en-us/art...c-aa8bbff73be2 ). How about something like =IF(SIGN(D6)=-1,C6,"D6>=0") or IF(D6<0,C6,"D6>=0")

    The formula will be placed in L6 and D6 is positive it wont show make any change, just if D6 is a negative number, then it shows C6.

    OK, so in L6:

    =IF(D6<0,C6,"")
