    If formula equals negative number, make it blank.

    Here's my formula... =SUM(S7)-T5

    If that number is less than -100, I want it to show as blank.

    Any help?

    Right now, I'm trying to accomplish this by making a conditional format...meaning when my cell equals less than -100 I make the cell color and font the same (so it looks blank, but its not). When I print it, it still shows the negative value.


    Thanks.

    Double Evaluating

    =IF(SUM(S7,-T5)<-100,"",SUM(S7,-T5))

    Alternatively leave as is, dispense with Conditional Formatting and use a Custom Format on the cell of: [<-100]"";[>=0]#,##0.00;[Red]#,##0.00
    adjust formats to suit

    Seems like I'm close... Is this right?

    =SUM(S7)-T5=IF(SUM(S7,-T5)<-100,"",SUM(S7,-T5))

    Right now its responding with a FALSE.
