ALS function advanced
Hi Guys, I am trying to create a formula that if D1 is greater than 0 (when i make a profit) it needs to multiply with 0,5 (so half will go to my savings and half will be added to the existing)....

In your screenshot, D1 does not contain a number. Did you mean C2? If so, enter the following formula in D2 (or another cell in row 2), then fill down:
=MAX(C2/2;0)
or (equivalently)
=MAX(C2;0)/2

Thanks for your quick reply and answer.
The answer covers party wat I was after, maybe it was a little unclear in my first explination so Ill try to be more clearly. In the attaced picture I have added the D section (with the results I want to achieve). What I want to achieve with a formula is 50% of my Profit and a 100% of my loss.

In your first post, you wrote "multiply with 0" - the result of that will always be 0.
Use this instead in D2:
=ALS(C2>0; C2/2; C2)

Correct this is been my mistake.
The formula provided works perfectly! Many thanks for your help.
