I need to add the product of one cell to another cell, but only if the second cell is a negative number. The product of the first cell is a result of another formula and is always positive. The product of the second cell may be either positive or negative but only added if a negative number is produced?

Use a standard IF()



=IF(B1<0,A1+B1,"")


Where A1 contains the product of your first formula and B1 the product of the second.
