Calculate value where cell is negative

[jaydog121]

I dont know how to do this, and need some help!

I am trying to add a funtion that will look at a cell value, and if that cell value is negative or less than zero i want the funtion to multiply that cells value by 10%, or result is 0

Example

Cell 1 Cell 2 Cell 3(result)
-500 if - or <0 then *.10 -50
or
1000 if - or<0 then *.10 0
I have tried to figure this out, but I am a novice and am having difficulty with understanding how to write the funtion.

Thank you for any help you can offer!

No problem Jason,
