It won't work because you have a comma between 40 and if. Are you trying to subtract the value returned by the IF statement? What are you trying to do in the formula?

Update

I think this is is the formula that you want:

=IF(SUM(B3:H3)-40<0,0,SUM(B3:H3)-40)

thanks for your response. I'm trying so that IF the return sum value in i4 is less than zero, then zero. Not a negative value.

it didnt work becuase the IF statement should have been first in this formula. e.g. =IF(SUM(B3:H3)<0,"0",SUM(B3:H3))
