Hi Don, I tried your formulas in excel and it was not accepted. I suggest to replace "," with ";" and if you use < or > you need to give values on both sides. Example for working functions in excel and in OpenOffice : =IF(B1<0;"-";A1-B1) =IF(b1<0;3;4)
Btw it is Apache OpenOffice. ;) Hth Peter Am 24.
