Set negative numbers to zero. Do not calculate with negative valu

[Excel Headache]

I am working with fomulas that have diminishing values. I want the dimishing
values to stop at zero (not turn negative). Problem is, I'm getting negative
values that invalidate my data. Anyway way to "zero out" negative numbers?

 

[Jim May]

=MAX(G5,0)

=if(formula<0,0,formula)

Depends upon your formulae. Post them.

Try something like =IF([your calculation]<0,0,[your calculation]).
