Is such a nested if statement workable? &nbsp;As written it does not work. &nbsp;But the idea is if the calculation is an error (cell does not have a value to calculate), &quot;Error&quot;, if the calculation has a negative result, &quot;Negative Value&quot;, else the calculation result..<br />
<br />
IF(ISERROR($Y2-$X2),&quot;ERROR<wbr />&quot;,IF($Y2-$<wbr />X2)&lt;0, &quot;NEGATIVE TIME&quot;,$Y2-$X2)))<br />
<br />
What is wrong with the formula, and/or is there a better way to do it? &nbsp;Thanks.

Is such a nested if statement workable?  As written it does not work.  But the idea is if the calculation is an error (cell does not have a value to calculate), "Error", if the calculation has a negative result, "Negative Value", else the calculation result..

IF(ISERROR($Y2-$X2),"ERROR",IF($Y2-$X2)<0, "NEGATIVE TIME",$Y2-$X2)))

What is wrong with the formula, and/or is there a better way to do it?  Thanks.
