I need a formula that would subtract 200,000 from a cell and if the result is
a minus, zero would be put in the cell.

I also need a formula that check coulme a, b, c, d and if a could exists it
subtracts an amount from column f

Thanks in advance

One way:

a)    =MAX(A1-200000,0)

b)    Not sure what you mean.

The formula would look in colums a b c d and if SX is present them the
formula would subtract $100,000 is result isd a minus it would put zero in
the cell, If SX is not present the formula would subtract $50,000 and if the
result is a minus it would put zero in the cell

                A              B              C              D           E  
              F        
    HX    WR    VX    SX     $100,000            SX    HX    WR    VX     $150,000            HX    VX    SX           
$75,000                       WR    VX    HX            SX     $175,000
               HX    WR    VX            $200,000   
    HX    SX    VX                    HX    WR    VX   
    HX    WX    11

I can't tell with your linewrap what you're subtracting 50,000 or
100,000 from.

Assuming it's the values in A:D (e.g., SUM(A1:D1) for row 1), one way:

   =MAX(SUM(A1:D1)-50000*(1+(COUNTIF(A1:D1,"*SX*")>0)),0)

In columns a1:d1the formula would be looking for a code SX If present the
formula would subtract $100,000 from colume E1 and if the result is a
negative it woud put a zero. If SX is NOT present in A1:D1 then the formula
would subtract $50,000 from E1 and if the result is a negative put a zero in
the cell

Then replace the SUM(A1:D1) in the formula I suggested with E1

=MAX(p2-IF(COUNTIF(F2,H2,J2,L2,"sx")>0,100000,50000),0)

This is the formula with the true cells listed. I get an error when trying
to use this

You DIDN'T say so.!! Always best to fully explain your needs so as to not
waste time of responders. Try this

=MAX(A2-IF(SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"b1","d1","f1","j1"}),"sx"))>0,100000,50000),0)

One more question,

When i paste this formula to other cells, see below, it does not move the
cell row number

=MAX(P12-IF(SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"f2","h2","j2","l2"}),"sx"))>0,100000,50000),0)

I am on row 12 but mu reference is still on f2, h2, j2, l2 so to results are
in error

try this copied down
=MAX(0,A2-IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(F2:L2="sx"),--(MOD(COLUMN(F2:L2),2)=0))>0,100000,50000))

One way ..

Try in say, B2: =MAX(A2-200000,0)

Homework??

=MAX(G11-200000,0)
for the second one explore using MATCH or LOOKUP
