I am trying to make a spread sheet where
if s13<0, any information added from s15-17 would be put into cel t15-t17 and a 0 value added to s15-17

Can anyone help?

Thanks so much

This would work - there may be an easier way, but...

In cell t15, place this formula
=if ($s$13<0, s15,0)

Then copy it to t16 and t17.

The '$' symbol keeps the reference to S13 static, regardless of where you copy the formula.

If that doesn't work, post back.

not quite right
i am putting information into G (hours of work) and using =sum in S to deduct those hours so that when they reach 0 from 44 in the S column, it will put any hours i put into G after that into the overtime column which is H. i dont want any hours into G to show after S = 0.

Do i have to add the hours in another column (say p), making G the =sum of P, but then which column would I put your $s$ formula?

See attached file...

I've taken a stab at it here. A few more details would help. That 29 hours to start the week threw me.
