Help with positive and negative numbers

[ISAF Media Analysis]

Hello,

I need help with a formula. I need a formula that determines if something
is positive or negative or neitral. For example:

A B C

Criminal Activity +3 Positive
Voter Registration -8 Negative
Counter-Narcotics 0 Neutral

In short, I would need this formula to be able to decern between the
positive, negative and neutral numbers in column B and put it into words in
column C. So, any positive number would be indicated a "positive" in column
C, any negative number would be indicated as "negative" in column C and the
number 0 would always be indicated as "neutral" in column C.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try

=IF(B2=0,"Neutral",IF(B2>0,"Positive","Negative"))

Drag down as required
