Try this:

A1: =MAX(500-400,0)

Does that give you something to work with?

There's no formula which would set A1 to 0 if it was negative. You could do this
with a macro, but I doubt you need to go to this much trouble. Your likely best
bets are:

1. If there currently is a formula in A1, then change it to an IF statement, as
in:

=if(b1-c1<0,0,b1-c1)

2. If you have other formulas referring to A1, have them test for a negative
value first.
