challenge formula

[Frances C]

I will like to know if is posible to create a formula that can calcalculate
the following two problems

a1=200 * b1=2% - c1=o = result in D1 should be 4
a1=200 * b1=0% - c1=50 = result in D1 should be 150

Note the result can not be a negative number

Thanks

Frances

Use the goalseek function for the same.

=ABS(A1*B1-C1) in D1

=IF((A1*B1)-C1<0,"error",((A1*B1)-C1))

Use the goalseek function for the same.

or you can use this

Use the goalseek function for the same.
