Value To Be Taken As Positive Only?
Aug 5, 2014
If i have enter any number in negative may be in cell A1 (Usually here the values will be derived by formulas not by manual entry), then it should get the result in positive (only Negative value to positive value only sign change no magnitude / value change).
Now i am using in B1 <=IF(SIGN(A1)<0,A1*-1,A1)>, if any negative value found then in B1 i can get positive value. For example -57 in A1 = 57 in B1.
Now my question is instead using Complicated IF & SIGN formula if there is any simple formula available ?

Im working on a time schedule form for my work. It all works good but it have one little error.
Lets say it looks like this
cell a1 has start time 22:00 and a2 has a end time 07:00. i know that i can switch the cells in the formula =sum((a1-a2)*24). like this i´ll get a negativ answer and that f.cks up the totalt becuse of the negativ answer i get.
is there a way to get 7:00 - 22:00 and 22:00 - 7:00 to calculate as positiv with one formula?

I was wondering how I can replicate Excel's function abs(), which simply gives an absolute value of some number. Is there a simpler way to do that rather than creating a loop to test a condition? For example, I have a line:
w_1 = Range("E2").Value / Range("E3").Value
w_1 can be either positive or negative depending on the sign of E2 and E3. But I need w_1 to be always positive, no matter what signs E2 and E3 have.
I tried
w_1=WorksheetFunction.Abs(Range("E2").Value / Range("E3").Value)

I have a spreadsheet of invoices and credits memos (500+ rows). Is there a way to match the positive and negatives that match? For example if there is -40.39 in one cell and positive 40.39 in another that it could highlight both those cells. I was thinking to do it in conditional formatting however I can not get it to work. It does not have to be fancy I just need to highlight them because there will not be a lot that do actually match.

Is there a simple way to convert a positive number to a negative number ?
Fromto
10(10.00)
56(56.00)
116(116.00)
Additionally, would the same procedure work for time?
So if I had a column listing hours that looks like this:
10:05:00
4:34:00
2:18:06
is there a way to convert this to negative hours? Understandably, there are no such thing as negative hours, but I am trying to illustrate a situation where an internal procedure was completed x amount of hours before the specified start time.

i'll bet its really simple but i'm stuck

How do I do summation of only positive amounts for a particular month, given that the column A is dates ranging from April to Sept while the amount column has postive and negative amounts.
For example
Column A Column B
Date Amount

2 9-Apr-09 (8,000.00)
3 30-Apr-09 153,000.00
4 12-Apr-09 (3,000.00)
5 15-May-09 20,000.00
6 14-Jun-09 (5,000.00)
7 20-May-09 (6,000.00)

I have a code below to only allow a number to be entered into one of 2 cells. I'm trying to do conditional formatting based on these to cells, and the evidence is showing that even when I type a value into either I21 or I22, they are taking on a value of zero.
I have conditional formatting stating that if I21>0, then do one thing. And in a separate cell, I have =I22>0, then do another thing. Neither works, and even using =I22<>0, then do formatting, and it doesn't work, telling me that the assumed value is always zero.

My form has a combobox with three options "Withdrawal" "Deposit" "Fee". I want to make sure that whatever number a user puts into a textbox, if they select "Withdrawal" or "Fee" that number will be converted to a negative number, and if they select "Deposit" it will be positive. I have written the following code and am just wondering if there is some super slick way of doing it other than an if statement.

I want cell D5 to be the minimum value of cells D29:T29. Some of the cells will have no value (or $0.00) and some will have values in them. I tried the following formula in cell D5 but it doesn't work: =IF(D29:T29>0,MIN(D29:T29))).

I need to make a customized invoice for an international customer, that our accounting software can't seem to make. So I made an excel spreadsheet with a header and footer that looks like the top and bottom of our standard invoice. Then in the actual spreadsheet, I want to pull the line items from a second page in the workbook.
In that second page I have every product in our inventory on a separate row. It looks like this:
Quantity..........Product Name..........Price
.....................Goggles..................9.95
.....................Pump Sprayer..........4.95
.....................Safety Boots..........29.95
If the Quantity column is blank then I want that line to be ignored. If the quantity column has a positive number then I want the whole row to be copied to my invoice on the first sheet of the workbook.

I would like to see that I am continually saving on a per-day basis (as well as overtime). I allowance myself an allowance each day, but some days, I need to spend more money than that. The best solution I have to is keep a running total for myself, so that each day is affected by the preceding days. Therefore, if I spend too much, I now have a small defecit that needs to be corrected. This method keep me on track as far as saving and spending.
Question (and I copied the actual data from my spreadsheet):
Without having to manual enter the final calculations (because this is just a simple part of an overall larger, more complex spreadsheet), can I generate the values in my Value Change row, based on the information from my Running Total row?
For example, Day 1 to Day 2, I was able to incease my running total from 233 to 354 (meaning that I had saved +121 that day). Of course, this is an easy subtraction problem (Day 2 - Day 1 = Value Change). From Day 2 to Day 3, I spent way too much. The running total fell to -1198, meaning that I spent 1552 too much (that day's value change is -1552). Again, this an easy subtraction (Day 3 - Day 2 = Value Change, just like the first example). From Day 3 to Day 4, I was able to reduce my running total -1063, meaning that I was able to save 135 that day. This is my problem. Day 4 - Day 3 does not equal the value change of + 135. To get this value, the preceding formula now has to change to ABS(Day 3) - ABS(Day 4).
This is the issue. I need a formula that can work normally when the numbers are postive or when the second value is larger (in terms of absolute value). On the other hand, it needs to recognize the special cases like Day 3 - Day 4. Is this some form of a conditional function?
Running Total 233354-1198-1063-878-658-933-807-657
Percentage Change51.93%-438.42%11.27%17.40%25.06%-41.79%13.50%18.59%
Value Change121-1552135185220-275126150

I need a formula that will look at a row (say row 1) starting in column F. When the first positive value appears in the row, the formula will then sum that value and the next 11 columns in the same row. So for example, starting in row 1 column F - here is an example list of values
0 0 0 0 3 4 3 2 0 4 8 7 9 0 9 0 6 4 2 2 0 8 7
The total would be 49 (start summing at the first 3 (which would be column J)and finish with the 0 (which would be column U))
Lets assume the formula is in column AZ, row 1 and I then need to drag it down

I have a forecast for a week, all days I type in, the real order, in the end of the week I got a difference between the forecast and the real orders. the difference can be positive or negative, in any case I want that difference to be added on the next cell on next week, plus the difference between the forecast and the real order from the day before, and so on.
I'm using this formula "E4*($L$3+1+IF(K4,ABS(K3/K4-1),0))" but if the real order is less than the forecast the formula add the difference increasing in a positive way, when what I want is decrease the value if the difference shows a negative tendency.
hope this make sense.
I attached a file with what I intend to do.

Using AVERAGEIF on a row containing both positive and negative values one can easily calculate the Average of only the positive or negative values. I need to filter the 20% outlier on each case, how can I do that with TRIMMEAN ?
This is an example of the current formula using Averageif for the positive values:
=IF(C3=0;0,0001;AVERAGEIF(Auxiliary!B29:BL29;">="&O3))
For now O3 can assumed to be 0.

I am currently working on a project whereby I need to remove duplicate rows (containing both a positive and negative number). I've tried a few different formulas and macros but I'm running into a problem. It's wanting to remove ALL positive matches instead of one.
For example: Column BH has -4,4,4,-2,2,-1,1,
I need it remove those numbers that cross cancel and keep the one that doesn't have a partner.
Side note: Column A has an owner code, Column B a well code, and BH is the amount due.

This may be more of a math question rather than an Excel one.
If I have a spreadsheet with a cell that produces different negative number each time it is used, is there a way i can add a formula to make it a positive number.
So if Cell A1 showed -£244.22, I want to add an equation that changes if to £244.22
Cell A1 changes so it would need to do the same for any negative number within that cell.
