if formula question

[Theresa]

I am trying to use the following formula and it doesn't work for all my
tests. If the answer is false I want the value to return but not greater
than G7. Here is the formula =-if(A17>(G4+G5+G7),0,min(A17-G7-(G4+G5),G7)).

 

[Sean Timmons]

The formula entered does do what you,re looking to do. the value returned is
greater than G7?

 

[Peo Sjoblom]

Is the leading minus on purpose to make the result positive?


Maybe you want something like this


=IF(A17>(G4+G5+G7),0,MIN(-(A17-G7-(G4+G5)),G7))

otherwise explain what you are doing, what you expect the result to be etc.
