If question I think

[kelljeff]

This is probably really easy but I can't get it to work. Please help!!!


Below is a sample of the spreadsheet...
I only want the variance to appear when there is something in the
actual field.
Here is what try IF((B18>C18),(B18-C18),IF((C18>B18),(C18-B18),$A$1)).

Forecast Actual Variance
8211 9097 886
7233 8276 1043
7025 8025 1000
6682 7523 841
9866 0 9866
8510 0 8510
7475 0 7475
