I suggest that you do not display the database field but create a displayed non-database field and populate it using the Post-Query trigger (at the block level).

Hello,

You should make a function and you can put your logic in that function. Simply put the function name instead of your formula in the formula property and you are done.

Have a look at the 'GREATEST' function:

SQL> select greatest(&yourvalue, 0) x
  2  from   dual
  3  /
Enter value for yourvalue: -1
old   1: select greatest(&yourvalue, 0) x
new   1: select greatest(-1, 0) x

         X
----------
         0

SQL> /
Enter value for yourvalue: 120
old   1: select greatest(&yourvalue, 0) x
new   1: select greatest(120, 0) x

         X
----------
       120

SQL> /
Enter value for yourvalue: -12.3
old   1: select greatest(&yourvalue, 0) x
new   1: select greatest(-12.3, 0) x

         X
----------
         0

SQL>

You could get the job done with decode (and sign), but I feel that this is more obvious Wink
