    Negative number show a dash

    How do you convert to a dash if it negative, to have a zero value?

    =E73-D74

    hi there. presentation-wise or changing the real value to zero? say for eg E73 is 50 & D74 is 60 and the cell you want is in F75
    1) right-click & Format cells -> Custom:
    General;"0"
    this is just presentation. if you use F75+30, it gives you 20 & not 30

    2) use formula:
    =MAX(A1-B1,0)
    cell is now presented as 0 & really 0 in value. F75+30 will be 30.

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
