using IF & AND in formula

[Guest]

Hi.
I'm using Excel 2000, in simple terms, I need a formula for the following.
I'm working with numbers.

IF A2 is GREATER than B2, then A2+B2
OR
IF A2 is LESS than B2, then B2-A2

Thanks,

here it is..

=IF(A2>B2,A2+B2,IF(A2<B2,B2-A2))

=If(A2>B2,A2+B2,B2-A2)

What happens if A2=B2?

Mark:
he wants B2-A2 not when A2=B2..

=If(A2>B2,A2+B2,B2-A2)

Perhaps

=B2+SIGN(A2-B2)*A2
