    Multiplication formula - how do I get positive answers (no negative numbers) only?

    How do i do a multiplication formula such as =F2*F3 where I only want to know the answer if it is a positive number?

    Thank you!

    Thanks for your answers. I could not get them to work actually but found the answer elsewhere - I think I should have included the spreadsheet - sorry!

    Your help is much appreciated however!!
