IF/Then statement when column equals zero
Hello. What would be the formula so that Column C (in the attached file) would multiply the result of the formula currently in Column C only when the value of Column A is zero?

=IF(A2=0,SUM(A2-B2),"")
Two questions...
1. Multiply by what? The value in column C by the value in column C, i.e. the square of the value in column C?
2. What do you want to return if the vale is not zero?
The below formula assumes you wish to multiply the value in column C by 2 if the value in column A is zero. If the value in column A is not zero, return zero.
=IF(A2=0, C2*2, 0)
