Look Up First Negative Number

Aug 15, 2007

This may sound simple, but is not (it might be easy for you hopefully)...... I have a string of numbers and the first few numbers can be either postive, negative or zero....Later on, the numbers all become negative......

I need to find the the cell which contains the first negative number in the consequtive negative numbers.....The difficult part is the numbers before the consequtive negative numbers can be anything......

is there a way to format a cell that will make the number a negative number regardless of what number I type; whether I type a positive or negative.

If Negative Number Display It Differently

Jun 8, 2009

I currently have the following in a cell:
=BDH(AHD!A3,"px_last","-5cm","-5cm")

This currently displays as -32 pulling this number out of bloomberg.

I now want to write a formulae in this cell that will display this as 32c if it is negative... and 32b if it is positive.

So if the number pulled out is negative I want it to have a c after it (and please have it delete the minus sign) and if positive, then have a b after it.

Number To Change Color For Positive & Negative

Dec 6, 2007

I am wanting to finish a worksheet for my boss. What I have done so far is taken the " forecast" of vehicles shown and used a formula of subtract from "actual" vehicles sold to get "how many we have left to go". what he wants to do is have the "to go" number change from red when a negative to green when it reaches a positive. example:

forecast = 30
actual = 27
to go = -3

that "to go" needs to be without a negative sign but in RED to negate a negative. Is that possible with a formula??

Having Two Date Return Number But Exclude Negative Numbers

Dec 18, 2013

I'm trying to figure out a formula to use that will exclude negative numbers. I have two dates. I'm trying to find the difference between the two dates assuming there is a date in the first column. At times there will be a situation where the date in A1 is before the date in A2 and it returns a negative number. I'd like to return a blank if there is a blank cell in column A and also return a blank if the return number is a negative.

Example:

A1 = 1/15/2013 B1= 1/10/2013 C1(formula) =IF(A1="","",(A1-B1) C1 will then reflect 5
A2 = (cell is blank) B2= 1/18/2013 C2 (formula) =IF(A2="","",(A2-B2) C2 will then reflect a blank cell
A3 = 1/5/2013 B3 = 1/15/2013 C3 (formula) =IF(A3="","",(A3-B3) C3 will then reflect -10

I'm trying to figure out a formula that would also allow C3 to reflect a blank cell since the formula returns a negative.

Change Multiple Different Negative Numbers All Into One Specific Number?

Apr 5, 2014

How Do Change Multiple Different Negative Numbers All Into One Specific Number? Anither Words How do I change one number into another Number

Lets say I have list of numbers like this

-24
-19
-37
-22
-24
-42
-26
-20
-28
-23
-28
-42
-23
-53 etc.

and I want all the negative number at -21 and down to be changed into -20 and all other numbers higher then -20 or whole numbers to be left alone.

So numbers -21 -22 -23 -24 .... -36 -37 -38 .... -45 -46 etc are all changed into -20 and all other numbers like -19 -18 -17 -16 .... 0 1 2 3 4 etc are all left alone.

I tried using the filter tab and couldn't see. I tried the replace key but that took to long changing each and every number from -21 all the way back to -99.

Is there an easier way to change all negative numbers in a specific zone of numbers (-21 thru -99) into one simple number so -21 would change into -20 and -22 would change into -20 and -23 would change into -20 etc etc etc.
