Excel IF Formula

Hi

I am using the following formula on one of our budget templates. =IF(F844>0,'42 INCOME'!B10,0)

Problem is, it doesn't bring up any negative numbers where applicable. It only brings up postive numbers. Can you tell me what formula i can use to bring up negative numbers?

Thanks

Vicky

RE: Excel IF Formula

Hi Vicky

Thank you for your question. I'd just like to check the kind of problem you are encountering.

When the input is greater than zero does the formula only brings back positive numbers from sheet INCOME? Even when the corresponding number is negative on INCOME it doesn't display correctly.

Alternatively when the input is zero or less do you find you always get 0 as a result rather than a corresponding value on INCOME.

If you'd like to forward an example sheet through I can take a look to get a better idea of what you are encountering. You can mark it for the attention of Andrew and send to andrew@stl-training.co.uk

Kind regards,
Andrew

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
