I have an excell spread sheet and i am dividing two cells. Most of the 
numbers are positve but some of the numbers are negative. I want to put a 
formula in to all the cells that will divide the two cells and give me the 
answer to one digit but if the number is negative i want it to display as 0.

Maybe something like this...

=MAX(0,ROUND(A1/A2,1))

Hi Mike,

Following assumes that A1 is divided by B1

=IF(A1/B1<0,0,A1/B1)

However, if you have any zeros in column B then you will get #DIV/0! error 
so you might want to expand the formula and put "" in lieu of the error.
=IF(ISERROR(A1/B1),"",IF(A1/B1<0,0,A1/B1))

If you want zero instead of "" if dividing by zero then replace the "" with 
zero.
=IF(ISERROR(A1/B1),0,IF(A1/B1<0,0,A1/B1))
