Here's what I'd like to achieve:

It's for budget planning.
In b3, if b1>=b2, then display value of (b1-b2); if b1<b2 then hide value or
display nothing.
In b4, if b1<b2, then display value of (b1-b2) in red; if b1>=b2, then hide
value or display nothing.

I could manage the font colour, but couldn't get the formula to work.

Any help is appreciated.

Tony

in B3
=IF(B1>=B2,B1-B2,"")

in B4
=IF(B1<B2,B1-B2,"")

In addition for B4 apply a conditional format to set it to red if value is <0

Thanks for your reply, Mike. I tried the formulas but they didn't work for
some reason. They are very closed to the ones that I had tried myself.

Nevertheless, I appreciate your reply and help. Thanks.

Another option might be to enter this equation in both B3 & B4.

=B1-B2

In B3, use a custom format to hide negatve values
#.00;;#.00

In B4, use a custom format to hide non-negative values, and display the neg.
values in Red.

;[Red] -#.00;
