    If, then, else

    Hello.

    I have been pulling my hair out on this one. I know this is easy, but it seems the help areas are just not geared for exactly what I need.

    I am tracking some purchases against estimated quantities. Basically I want to subtract the sum of the estimated quantities from the sum of the received quantities and yield the (>0) difference, otherwise yield a "0".

    Here is my logic:

    If the sum of cells (row) minus the sum of cells is greater than 0, I want that value, otherwise I want a 0. Sounds simple, but I can't get it to work.

    Here is my most recent effort (and I still get a #VALUE! answer):

    =IF(SUM(P4:S4)-SUM(F4:O4)>0),SUM(P4:S4-F4:O4),0

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Try this:
    =MAX(SUM(P4:S4)-SUM(F4:O4),0)

    Thanks Fellas,

    Both options worked great! Joining this forum is the best business decision I've made, today. I'm sure I'll need you again.
