 +===== To Quote or not to Quote =====
 +  * Use quotes if you are using the **actual** data in the formula: **=Balance("SC11","12/31/2009")**
 +  * Don’t use quotes if you are **referring** to the cell that holds the data:   **=Balance(A1,B1)**
 +    * Cell A1 would then contain **SC11** **not** **"SC11"**
 +    * Cell B1 would then contain **12/31/2009** **not** **"12/31/2009"**
 +Please note that all examples given on this page show quoted data, as would be used if the values were directly entered into the formula.  However, it is generally better practice to enter the data in cells of their own and refer to those cells from within the formulas.

 +When evaluating numeric formulas such as SUM, Excel treats text as 0.  This makes it possible to use this PosNeg parameter to include results of GL formulas in your other Excel formulas only in specific circumstances.
