If cell is < 0, do this, else do that

How can I get A7 to say something like =IF(B4<0, *(-1)), and include the rest of the formula? If it's greater than 0, don't change it. Also, how do I get G4 to be a positive number? Thanks.

Not really sure what you are trying to calc here, or where you want the formula (G4?), but maybe something like this...

=IF(B4<0, -your formula,your formula)

to get a pos value, use =ABS(your formula)

Here is the formula: =IF((B4<0), ((E4/B4)*100)+D3, (B4*E4)/100-D3). How can I get it to read "if any result is negative, multiply by (-1).
If I try to put (-1) anywhere in the formula, it totally changes the result. Not sure if there's such thing as If within an If???

Just wrap the whole formula in the ABS function

=ABS(IF(B4<0,E4/B4*100+D3,B4*E4/100-D3))

Thanks, that worked!!
