I cannot figure out how to display a negative number as zero. Is there an
easy way to do this?

Use a custom format of: General;\0;0;@

Positive numbers;negative numbers;zeros;text

The display will be 0, but the value will still be negative.

if you want it to calculate as zero
=max(A1,0)
otherwise the format methods are best
