Excel formula; all negative values return with 0

R

ranthny

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I created a formula that counts up elective courses in a spread sheet row that someone needs to take.

Example: =3-COUNTA(O26:W26)

Problem is that they can take many different ones, but are only required to take three. When I get negative numbers, is there a way I can build them formula to return all negative numbers to zero?

Sure. =if(counta(026:w26)>3,0,3-counta(o26:w26))
