Making progress, thanks to the help of the kind people here! I Have this formula: =IF(D1-C1<0,"",D1-C1) I'm REALLY proud of myself here, at this point! It worked properly. However, when both C a...
The easiest way is simply to put SUM() around your cell references:
=IF(SUM(D1)-SUM(C1)<0,"",SUM(D1)-SUM(C1))

By all means, use Sum() if you want to create a sum of something, or use Sum() to create some hot formula tricks, but don't use it if it does not add value. That just increases the calculation load for Excel.
