I have a spreadsheet where one cell is defined by several others with a

display negative numbers in a cell?  The outcome of the cells will never
be negative, once the proper values are entered, so that won't be a
problem.

You want the ABS function:

=ABS(-56) returns 56.

=ABS(12) returns 12.

=ABS(0) returns 0.

I want nothing displayed if the other cells have nothing in them. 

A1 = 10
A2 = 20
A3 = 30
A4 = sum(A1 + A2 + A3 - 5)

Prior to entering data into A1 thru A3, A4 will display -5.  I want A4 to be 
blank, or at least appear so until something is entered into A1,2 or 3 that 
will bring A4's value >= 0.
