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......
I go negative in one column I want it to show up in the next column as a positive number because when I add my income and subtract my bills and the negative from last month to get the what cash I'll have left it screws up because negative subtract a negative is a positive. So how do i get the sum of say B9 to from -$5.00 to +$5.00 into C4 so when i subtract C4 From my income it wont add to it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to add to this formula.... if the result of "$L$6-Q15", from below, is 0 or a negative number, then the desired result would be 0 for this formula.
Possibly wrapping IF AND somewhere in this...
=IF((O15+(K16*$L$5))>=$L$6,$L$6-Q15,K16*$L$5)
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.
What i'm trying to accomplish is enter a number and the number will be negative. I don't want to have to type a negative in front of the number.
Is there a way to a formula that would show the following? A plus B = C but if A is below 0, stop the value at 0 then add column B:
Columns:
A B C
-2 5 5
1 5 6
0 5 5
How can I make excel to recongnize this: 123456- as a negative number?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow would I write an IF statement that would tell me if a number in one cell is more negative than another?
For Example,
Cell L23 has a number of -10mm

How do I create a formula that tells me if a negative number appears in a column.
for example, the following numbers are in cell A1:A5
10
15
-1

I need a formula in B2 that tells me if A1:A5 contains a negative number.
I keep getting the correct answer, but it returns it as negative and I need a positive answer.

In one column, I have a formula that will produce a positive or negative number. If the number is negative, I want it to be automatically transfered to the adjacent cell/column. I don't want a positive number transfered though.

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.
I came across this expression going through an Excel VBA code. Can someone plz explain what the argument (-1,1) points to ?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have row of dates and underneath those dates I have a row of numbers. The numbers count down. For example:
[Code] .....
At the end of the row I want a cell to return the date that the row first started going negative at. In this example, it should display 10/31/2014 (for when it went to -60).
I am trying to write code that will locate either a 0 or the smallest negative number in a range, eg,
example 1,
8, 6, 2, 0, -0.5, -2
the result would be 0
example 2,
8, 6, 2, -0.5, -2
the result would be -0.5
I'm trying to come up with a formula to seach through an array backwards, and tell me where the first negative number is located.
Example
A1

B1

C1
-1
D1
1
[Code] ..........
If you fill out the cells A1:J1 like so, and enter
=MATCH(TRUE,A2:T2
I need to have a formula or code so that when a number is entered in cell E12 or F12 or L12, or M12 would treat a positive number as a negative and a negative number entered would be a positive in that respective cell.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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??
I am using a regular expression in a function to extract numbers from strings. the code I am using is below.
Function ExtractNumber(rCell As String)
Set RegEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")

ExtractNumber = CDbl(RegEx.Execute(rCell)(0))
Else
ExtractNumber = vbNullString
End If
End Function...
Can I use Conditional formatting (highlights duplicate values) but highlight the number even if the number is an Positive or Negative number.
It must highlight the number if it's -300 or 300 in both instances.
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.
Let's say I have a column A with the following values.
30
40
30
60
-20
-10
-50
-60
-70
120
320
20
-40
-30

How can I have 2 cells display:-

if you loop the rows you can subtract =SUM(AE2-Y2) if that number is a negative number I would need the value of AE copied to Y2 and the value of Y2 copied to AE2. the 2 being the row number which would always change with the loop.
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.
a spreadsheet in Excel. I have names with scores. Then I have the winning score. I need a formula to find the score closest to zero and to display the name of the winner.
Ex: Names A1:A4 and Scores B1:B4. Winning Score in B6 and list name in B7.
Ana 16
Bob 2
Charles 8
David 11
Winning Score 10
Answer should be 11 which is David, since David is only -1 away compared to the others.
