I have tried several different formulas to try and get rid of negative numbers and numbers over 365
User 14/08/2018 - 05:26
What I would like is to be able to show all negatives and all numbers over 365 as blank cells
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:26
Sure Can you please provide me an example to get some more idea.
User 14/08/2018 - 05:28
please note column Q, I have been able to rid myself of numbers over 365 but am still receiving negative numbers.

=IF(P2-L2>=0 & P2-L2 <=365,P2-L2,"")
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:29
Here is the formula.
User 14/08/2018 - 05:30
Thank you Very much
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:30
L2 is blank actually.
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:30
That is the existing formula.
User 14/08/2018 - 05:30
yes, there will be blank cells and that is what is causing part of the issue, but those cells must be blank until the work is actually done.
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:31
Ok. So, the end result also shall be blank when either is blank?
User 14/08/2018 - 05:32
end result should be blank if result is <0 or >365
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:32
Ok.
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:32
Ok. I am working on the formiula.
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:35
=IF(P2-L2<0,"",IF(P2-L2>365,"",P2-L2))
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:35
Please check the formula.
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:41

User 14/08/2018 - 05:41
Still showing as not valid
Excelchat Expert 14/08/2018 - 05:42
