display totals only over a certain amount

[Guest]

Hi:

I have a worksheet that totals colums for a daily payroll total for a
company. The 1st and 2nd colum need to be entered daily from a different
spreadsheet, the 3rd colum will already have an amount (salary amount) and
that colum is hidden and protected. However, I do not want the total to show
up if the user enters "0" in column 1 and 2 because they would be privy to
the salary amount - so is there a way in excel I can have the spreadsheet
only display a total if it is over a certain amount? This way the salary
would be protected and the amount would only show for example if it is over
$500.

If I understand it correctly if the total is in cell A2 try:

=IF(A2>500,A2,"")

Not sure if I understand, If I am adding A1-3 and the total is in A4 would I
place the =IF(A4>500,A1,A2,A3)?

If the total is in cell A4 then try:

=if(A4>500,A4,"")

You can hide and protect the formula in cell A4.

The calculation isn't working. A1 and B1 need to be entered with an amount
daily and C1 is the hidden column - the total is the addition of a+b+c but
only visable if over 500....

thanks for the help!

I'm sorry I didn't understand you're original problem. This formula should
work.

It does seem though one could figure out the value of C1 by doing some
simple math.

I only hope this helps.

Good luck.


=IF(SUM(A1:C1)>500,SUM(A1:C1),"")
