When working with Google Sheets, it’s important to be able to filter out negative values when performing calculations. This can be especially useful when dealing with financial data or other data sets where negative values should be excluded from the calculations. Fortunately, there is a simple way to make Google Sheets only calculate positive values.<\/p>\n

To make Google Sheets only calculate a positive value, you can use the SUMIF function along with a criteria that only includes positive numbers. Here’s how you can do it:<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Open your Google Sheets document and click on the cell where you want the calculation to appear.
\n2. Type “=SUMIF(” in the cell.
\n3. Select the range of cells that you want to include in the calculation.
\n4. Type “,” and then enter “>0” as the criteria. This will ensure that only positive values are included in the calculation.
\n5. Press Enter to complete the formula.<\/p>\n

By following these steps, Google Sheets will only calculate positive values from the selected range of cells, effectively filtering out any negative values.<\/p>\n
