Can anyone give me the formula for Excel to count only positive numbers in a column?

I have a sheet that will have mostly positive numbers in a particular column, however, I do not want it to subtract (or add) any that are a negitive number because I am sending the negitive numbers somewhere else. I know that probably sounds crazy, but I am hoping there is a formula for such a thing.....

Thanks for any help.

Thank you so much.

I am sitting here laughing about my "addif". Once I read your first reply I tried the "SUMIF" (which only makes since!!)and it worked great. Thank you very much.

I do not know where the "addif" came from.......
