Thank you, but unfortunately that’s not working. Maybe I’m not asking the question right.
I have this formula in cell M10, which if I put in the added formula it just makes it blank when I add $15.00 in cell L10. I’m needing it to read $2.50 in M10.

Are you sure that L11 is really blank. If it contains a space, for example, it will look blank but isn't really.
Also check that Calculation Options on the Formulas tab of the ribbon is set to Automatic.
