Hi Stacy,

The correct use of spaces between the expressions in a formula field can be critical. For the space between an expression and a
picture switch, though, I don't believe it is. Thus:
{=MAX({=D19*D21 \# 0 },150) \# $,0}
{=MAX({=D19*D21 \#0 },150) \#$,0}
{=MAX({=D19*D21\# 0 },150)\#$,0}
all give the same result, but
{=MAX({=D19*D21\# 0 },150)\#$ ,0}
will produce a syntax error. If you need spaces etc withing the formatted output, you need to enclose the numeric formatting within
double quotes. For example:
{=MAX({=D19*D21\# 0 },150) \# "$ ,0"}

Thank you so very much for your help. You do not know how much it is
appreciated. The final result that you offered works like a charm.

Side question: When working with field formulas such as we did within
this post, if spaces are not part of the end results, do spaces matter
when trying to get to a result? For example: This is the formula -
{=MAX({=D19*D21 \# 0 },150) \# $,0} (notice space after D21, after #
and after 0) as opposed to using: {=MAX({=D19*D21\#0},150)\# $,0} .

You are wonderful. Thank you again.
