    Need help with mathematical formula

    I have a cell that I need to calculate XX value, minus XX value of another cell, but return "0" (zero) if a different cell shows $0 in it.

    Example:

    In cell L3, I need it to subtract value in cell L2 from value in K3, but if K3 value is 0 (as in $0), then I want L3 to show $0.

    This seems so simple, but for the life of me I can't get it to work.

    Thanks,

    Vince

    It works, thank you. However, the balance now shows as a negative number when it should be positive. Any thoughts?

    Nevermind, I had the sequence wrong and figured it out. Much appreciated!
