Make 0 (zero) when value is negative

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 12:36:08 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for a clean formually which turns any value to 0 when the original value goes below 0.

I'm having a dashboard based on a log, and I need to do calculations in the front end (unfortunately) to come to a certain number. Sometimes, when selecting certain dimensions, I'm getting negative values which make sense according to the formula, but can't occur in the real world (eg: -3 registrations).

I could of course work with an if like this:

if(value <= 0, 0, value)

... but I wanted to know if their might be a cleaner way to do this as my "value" in the script above is actually a pretty large formula)

Kind regards,

Christophe

Ps: The value is shown in a text object in my dashboard
