Result should be always zero

Hi iLja_bmgs,

the solution to make the result of a calculation in Excel always zero is to use the following formula:

=MAX(0, A1-B1)

Where A1 and B1 are the cells containing the values that you want to subtract.

This formula will return the maximum value of 0 and the result of the subtraction. Since the maximum value of 0 and any other number is always 0, this formula will always return zero.

To use this formula to add a value to expenses and show it as Expenses 4, you would use the following formula:

=MAX(0, H2-H3-H4)+H4

This formula will return zero if the result of the subtraction is negative, otherwise it will return the result of the subtraction plus the value in cell H4.

You can also use a custom number format to hide zero values in Excel. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Select the cells that you want to apply the custom number format to.
2. Click the Format Cells button on the Home tab.
3. In the Format Cells dialog box, click the Custom category.
4. In the Type field, enter the following number format:

#,##0

This number format will display the value of the cell if it is greater than zero. If the value of the cell is zero, the cell will be blank.

To use the custom number format to hide zero values for the Expenses 4 column, you would select cells H5:H10 and then apply the custom number format as described above.
