  1. Trying but not succeding....
    Trying to make a calculation based upon a letter in a cell. I have a single calculation figured out, but i want to add another condition.
    Here is my original formula: =IF(M35="Y",F35*70%,F35*65%)

    Now I want to add if M35=D, then multiply by 100% and keep the rest above also.

    2. OK, after relentless searching online, I finally figured it out.

      This is what I put: =IF(M35="Y",F35*70%,IF(M35="D",F35*100%,F35*65%))

      It works, so I'm happy.

  2. Hello!

    how can I get the formula for this,

    I want to show the output of this available,discontinued,N/A
    become like this available,Out of Stock,Not available in daily update,

    The discontinued will be Out of Stock and the N/A will be Not available in daily update.

    Thankyou for helping me.

    1. I think what you wanna say is to change the way a formula express such as:
      Discontinued-->Out of Stock
      N/A-->Not available in daily update
      You can customize your own expression by using "things that you wanna say" in the formula.
      example were in the content above.

      hope this helps.

  3. Good evening,
    Would you please help me with Formula? i will greatful.
    value A (input number)
    value C (standard value)
    Value B 100.

    if value A is less than 55% of value C then output 0
    if value A is between 55% to 99% of vale C then output (80% of B)
    if value A is 100% or 110% of value C then output (100% of B)
    If value A is 100% to 120% of value C then output (120% of B)

    1. Hi, Sir Alexander! I am new to excel. Just wanna ask if how will my IF function go if for example, there is one class session per week. One session costs $100. And there are 5 students at max. In the left row, the teacher will indicate Present or Absent. But there are times in a session where not all 5 students are present. Eg only 3 are present, $100 will be divided to only 3 who are present. The cells on the right (after Present/Absent column) should be in numerical form. Thank you, Sir! Hope you can help me with this case..

      1. Hello!
        Use the COUNTIF function to count the number of students present. Then divide 100 by that number.
        I hope it’ll be helpful. If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.

    2. Hi!
      The tutorial above contains answers to your question.
      You can use this formula:

      =IF(A1/C1 < 55%,0,IF(A1/C1 < 99%,B1*80%,IF(A1/C1 < 110%,B1,IF(A1/C1 < 120%,B1*120%,""))))

  4. Hello thank you for this article and the further examples provided in the comments.

    I have a Bonus with 3 criteria (KPIS) attached. They get full bonus if all three criteria/ KPIs are met. The bonus is reduced if any of the 3 criteria are not met. Criteria 1 and 2 are worth 10% and criteria 3 is worth 5%

    e.g.

    if target is met bonus is £500

    I will enter the data against the 3 KPIs that show if each one is met or not. if all three are met bonus would remain at £500 if KPI 1 is not hit the bonus will reduce by 10% £50 and be £450, if KPI 2 is not hit the bonus will reduce by 10% (of the original £500) so another £50 and KPI 3 would be £25

    Any combination of KPI1, KPI2 and KPI3 is possible, so there are 9 scenarios I think. for example it would be possible for KPI 1 to not be met but 2 and 3 be met.

    I would like the bonus figure to be calculated automatically.

    I cannot work out how to write this, please help!

    1. Hello!
      The formula below will do the trick for you:

      =B1-B1*((A1=0)*0.1+(A2=0)*0.1)-(A3=0)*25

      where A1 A2 A3 - KPI
      B1 - bonus (500)

  5. Hello Alexander,

    I'm trying to use an IF statement to return the expression "HD" in case the index cell I'm looking for has any of the values: A, B, C, D, E, F, G
    To better explain this I started with the following formula:
    IF(INDEX(January22;N7-13;$C$5)=(????);"HD";" ")
    Where I wrote "????" in the formula is where I tried to use an OR statement to check the values A, B, C, D, E, F, G but it doesn't work.
    Can you help me with this one?

    Thank you in advance!

    1. Hello!
      It is very difficult to understand a formula that contains unique references to your workbook worksheets.
      Here is a formula that compares a cell with a set of characters.

      =SUM(--(A1={"A","B","C"}))>0

  6. Sir,
    I have querry where column A has two names and column B has one name but if the name in column is a part of column A the in column C only the non same name should come

    IN SHORT Common Name Part or Full should be removed

    A (COLUMN) B (COLUMN) C (COLUMN)
    SHAILESH SINGH SINGH SINGH
    RAMESH PATEL PATEL PATEL
    SURESH SHAH SURESH SURESH
    ANAND SHAH ANAND ANAND

    Please Guide
    Thanks
    Shailesh

      1. Thank you Sir, I has solved my big query.

  7. Hi!

    I am trying to create a fairly complex IF formula and am having difficulties, any guidance would be appreciated!

    I want the cells this formula is in to fill in as 1SD, 2SD, or 3SD based on the range of 3 different sets of cells. I am able to get it to work with one and two arguments but get the "Too many arguments" error when I attempt to add the third one in. I wasn't able to get it to work by nesting the IF arguments either but I'm likely doing it incorrectly. I have tried nesting the IFs and just get the "This formula has errors" box.

    Working with two arguments:
    =IF(OR(AND(Q14>=D13),(D13=D13),(D13=D13),(D13=D13),(D13=D13),(D13<=R16)), "1SD", "2SD", "3SD")

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hello!
      I am not sure I fully understand what you mean. What is the meaning of the condition (D13=D13) ? Why repeat it 4 times?
      Please describe your problem in more detail. Include an example of the source data and the result you want to get. It’ll help me understand your request better and find a solution for you.

      1. Apologies, Alexander, that definitely pasted incorrectly!

        Here is the formula I've been trying to get work:
        =IF(OR(AND(Q14>=D13),(D13=D13),(D13=D13),(D13<=R12), "1SD") but am having difficulty getting the IF arguments to nest properly.

        So, if we take the data as follows:
        the value entered into cell D13 is 3.000
        based on the values in these range of cells:
        1SD: Q12 = 0.232, R12 = 1.762
        2SD: Q14 = -0.532, R14 = 2.526
        3SD: Q16 = -1.297, R16 = 3.291
        Then G13 (the cell containing this formula) would fill in as 3SD since the value of 3.000 falls into that range.

        Also, the values in the Q and R columns change based on the values entered into column D; they are not constant.

        Thanks!!

        1. Hi!
          Have you tried the ways described in this blog post?

          =IF(AND(D13 > Q12,D13 < R12),"1SD",IF(AND(D13 > Q14,D13 < R14),"2SD",IF(AND(D13 > Q16,D13 < R16),"3SD","")))

          Please note that the value 1 is suitable for all 3 ranges

          1. This worked beautifully, thanks!!

  8. how do I write a formula for the following:

    I need a my formula to count as 1 if the following criteria are met in two different columns within a different worksheet.

    so in worksheet2 if the word Apples - Red appears in column A and the date in column G is older than 30 days count as 1.

      1. Thanks it returns a blank cell but should return 7, I'm wondering if the Today formula is correct, I need it to count if the date (are all different dates) entered anywhere in column G are 30 or more days old not 30 days from today.

        If my worksheets have names and I need to only include data from A2 to A300 is the below formula still correct:

        =IF(AND('Data Sheet 4 - Fruit!'A2:A300="Apples-Red",'Data Sheet 4 - Fruit!'G2:G300-30>TODAY()),1,"")

        Also if the criteria isn't met could it return a 0.

        Thanks

        1. Hi!
          If you need to find the difference between dates, use the second date instead of the TODAY() function. If you want to get 0 in case of a negative result, replace "" with 0 in the formula.
          Please read carefully the guide I linked to.

          1. Alexander Thanks I have read the guide so many times but I'm so confused and its still not returning the result it should.

            I don't need a count of dates between each other I need the formula to count how many Apples - Red in column A2:A300 and if any dates in column G2:G300 that are older than 30 days, basically I need to count how many Apples-Red are past their use by dates by more than 30 days??

              1. But if I use Today()-30, won't it count the dates that are 30 days less than today? If so I actually need the formula to count how many of the dates listed are out of date by 30 days i.e.

                Column G has:
                Used by dates
                20/3/2021
                31/12/2021
                30/12/2020
                4/5/2021
                1/2/2021
                4/2/2022
                etc

                I need to know of the dates in column G how many are over their used by dates by 30 days and I need the formula to count how many in total.

              2. Hi!
                The formula I sent to you was created based on the description you provided in your first request. If you need to consider dates that are 30 days less, use the <= operator

                "< ="&TODAY()-30)

  9. Data is in A1= 100. (this is fix data ).

    B1-B10 = date wise high data will come
    C1-C10=. Date wise low data will come
    D1= Pass/Fail (fix Data)

    1.
    Now I want if D1= Pass then if B1 to B10 >= A1+20. Then Result "CLEAR" BUT C1 to C10 <A1-20

    2.

    If D1=Fail then if C1 to C10< A1-20. Then Result "Fail" That time B1 to B10 <A1+20

    3- this Rule should be applied Row wise. If CLEAR Result come first then CLEAR will be valid Output after that if Fail condition met in next row then Fail is invalid in this condition and Results should not chnge to Fail.

    Same For If Fail came first after that Clear Result is not valid.

    1. Hi!
      Unfortunately, I couldn't understand your description of the problem. Write an example of the source data and the result you want to get.

    My formula for D is =IF(AND(A1=A2,C2=1),D2&","&B2,B2)
    and formula for E is =IF(OR(A2A1,AND(C21,A2A1))=TRUE,"Final","")

    I want to essentially concatenate the ages for each series of ID only if they have a value of 1 in C.
    and when I have all the ages for a particular ID write Final to the last concatenated ID in the series.
    There are multiple ID's as well as single ID's.
    Thank you.

    1. Hello!
      If I understand your task correctly, the following formulas should work for you:

      =IF(AND(A1=A2,C2=1),E1&","&B2,B2)

      =IF(OR(AND(C1=1,A2<>A1),AND(A2=A1,C2<>C1)),"Final","")

        What I need to do is concatenate the ages in Column D, as long as the ID (Column A) are the same and there is a "1" in the Flag (Column C). The first 3 rows have different ID's but starting at row 4 through 7 the ID's are the same but for row 6 and 7 the flag is blank so I don't want to concatenate the ages for those rows.
        In addition when ID's change and all the ages have been concatenated I want to write the word "Final" on column E. I hope this time the explanation is better.
        These are the formulas you sent.
        I believe I need to use more IF's and AND's conditions to test for different scenarios.

        =IF(AND(A1=A2,C2=1),E1&","&B2,B2) This one is working fine
        =IF(OR(AND(C1=1,A2A1),AND(A2=A1,C2C1)),"Final","") This one is not giving me the right results.

        Thank you!

        1. Hi!
          Your attentiveness could help save a lot of my and your time.

          =IF(AND(A1=A2,C2=1),E1&","&B2,IF(C2 < > 1,"",B2))
          =IF(OR(AND(C1=1,A2 < > A1),AND(C1=1,A2=A1,C2 < > C1)),"Final","")

          Hope this is what you need.

  11. I have finally got the following formula to work

    =IF(F13=45,F13<=100),"Top Dress","")

    is there a way to do it differently to not have the repeated "topdress" if both if statements are true

    1. Hi!
      The formula is written incorrectly and cannot work. You can write your terms like this

      =IF(AND(F13=45,F13<=100),"Top Dress","")

      But the first condition does not make sense, since it is always true if the second condition is true.

      =IF(F13 < = 100,"Top Dress","")

      1. Ugg.. thanks so much for the response, but just realized the beginning was missing.

        =IF(F13=45,F13<=100),"Top Dress","")

        could you please take another look? I appreciate the help

  12. Hi there,

    Thanks for this article :).

    I have been trying to add a formula where if the H cell result is greater than 900, it will add 450 as a number, or a 0 if less than 900.

    =IF(H651>900,"450","0") - This is the formula here. It is working but it seems to be formatting the 450 or 0 as text instead of a number. Therefore, other formulas don't add up the total amount correctly.

    Thanks for this, this is for an earnings sheet for commissions.

  13. Ahi, Alexander

    Can you help me with the formula for the following

    If the amount is less than Rupees 21001 to 75001 then 0

    Kindly do the needful

    1. Hi!
      Please re-read the article above, it covers your case completely. Try this formula

      =IF(AND(A1>21001,A1<75001),0,A1)

  14. Hi Mr Trifuntov,

    How do i formulate let say if A1 has =55, any value in A1 will stay.

    i.e. A1=55 to 65 then B7 shall have the actual value of A1.
    A1>=66, then B7 will show the actual value of A1

    I cant get around the use of a correct excel formula. I need your advice. Thank you

    2. correction:
      A1=65, B7 will show the value of A1 "as-is"

      Again, thank you

  15. i'm facing a dilemma, i'm working at a leasing company, and the official reports that i take from our equivalent of the DMV about our vehicle count and status and plate No. comes in Arabic, i want to transfer the arabic character to the english character, because they're using and english letter against an arabic one, for example A always is the first letter of the arabic alphabet, but using CTRL+f and replace is a time consuming process if you do 3 times a week as this report shows which vehicle do have and don't have a person authorized using the vehicle to avoid making my company take violations and force the actual user to pay it, this report make us avoid these kind of issues, do any knows any formula or another way to speed up the process? as macro isn't the way i tried several times in various ways but with no luck.
    The characters transfer chart as below:
    A=أ
    B=ب
    D=د
    E=ع
    G=ق
    H=ه
    J=ح

    1. Hello!
      To do a mass text replacement, use the formula

      =IFERROR(SUBSTITUTE($A2, LOOKUP(999,FIND($E$2:$E$13,$A2),$E$2:$E$13), LOOKUP(999,FIND($E$2:$E$13,$A2),$F$2:$F$13)), $A2)

      $E$2:$E$13 - characters to be replaced
      $F$2:$F$13 - what should be replaced
      If not all characters are replaced, reuse this formula with the result of the first replacement.
      I hope it’ll be helpful.

    1. Hi!
      I’m not sure I got you right since the description you provided is not entirely clear. However, it seems to me that the formula below will work for you:

      =IF(B4<=5,"<5",IF(B4<=9,"6-9",IF(B4<=14,"10-14",IF(B4<=19,"15-19",IF(B4<=49,"20-49",">50")))))

  18. i use DATA VALIDATION

    I have the Data on "Data Sheet" D17 to D90 where E17 to E90 are the corresponding amount... I want to put on separate sheet "SOA" with columns "Description" and "Amount"... all I want to get is that when I select a "Description" the amount on the "Data Sheet" will appear on the "SOA Sheet"...

    Example from "Data Sheet"
    D17 = Apron E17 = 500.00
    on "SOA Sheet"
    D12 = Apron E12 = 500.00 and so on the rest of the cells...

    What formula should I use? I try this one NO GOOD!

    =If(D12=Data!D17,Data!E17) it won't follow to the rest of the cells...

    Hoping you can help me with this... Thank you in advance.

  19. I am looking for a formula that will return a numeric value into another cell. I am stumped ,Here's what I require:
    Columns
    A B C D
    Employee name Shift Attend Absent
    Bill Days 1
    Sara Nights 1
    Bill Days 1
    Bill Nights 1
    Bill Days 1
    Bill afternoons 1
    Jim nights 1

    I typed this formula in Cell M4 and I figured that the formula would be =sumif(a4:a10,"Bill",if(b4:b10,"days",c4:c10)) to which the value in cell M4 will be 2.

    The formula works when I just do =sumif(a4:a10,"Bill",c4:c10)

    I am trying to achieve that anytime "Bill" worked throughout the year on "Days" it returns a sum of those days. Bill Days 2. In another cell (M5) I would do the absent days.

    I would then do the same for him on nights and afternoons in different columns.

  20. Hello, I am trying to make a grading formula for an audit I am making. It seems simple but I can not figure it out.

    The values of G47 will be 0,1,2,3,4 or 5
    I need a formula that will return a score.
    0=0
    1=2
    2=4
    3=6
    4=8
    5=10

    If someone can help let me know!

  21. can someone help me with this IF statement. If the hours worked are 10 but regular is 8 i need an IF statement to calculate the different of time between the two numbers.

  22. Hi,

    I have a list of individual items that belong in a system. The individual items are being inspected and every item needs to pass inspection for a system to be considered "Passed". For example, I want to say if items in system 2 all pass inspection, the total System passed inspection. If only half of the items pass inspection, then the System is in progress. For example:

    System item Passed? System Passed?
    1 1 Passed In Progress
    1 2 Failed In Progress
    1 3 In Progress In Progress
    1 4 Passed In Progress
    1 5 Passed In Progress
    1 6 Failed In Progress
    2 7 Passed Passed
    2 8 Passed Passed
    2 9 Passed Passed
    2 10 Passed Passed

    System 1's inspection is in progress and System 2 passed inspection. I'm looking for a formula that can fill out the "System Passed?" column and basically tell me "Not every item in system 1 passed inspection so system 1 is in progress" and "Every item passed inspection in system 2 so system 2 passed"

    1. Hello!
      To count the number of records by condition, use the COUNTIF function.
      The formula is something like this:

      =IF(COUNTIF(C1:C20,"Passed")/COUNTIF(A1:A20,A1)=1,"Passed", IF(COUNTIF(C1:C20,"Passed")/COUNTIF(A1:A20,A1) > = 0.5,"In Progerss", ))

    2. Column A is "System" with systems 1 and 2, column B is "item" with item numbers 1-10, column C is "Passed?" with "passed"/"failed"/or "in progress", column D is "System Passed?" with either the system "in progress" or "passed."

  23. Hi,
    I'm trying to get a formula that puts together values from different columns (10+) in one same cell with line breaks.

    For each column I want to have the "column title: " + value of the corresponding cell
    BUT
    I only want to have the "column title: " IF the corresponding cell is not empty (otherwise I would see "column title: " without any value

    For example:
    column title 1 is "material"
    cell value 1 is "metal"
    and
    column title 2 is "color"
    cell value 2 is empty
    and
    column title 3 is "size"
    cell value 3 is "15"

    Ideally I wanna see the following:

    material: metal
    size: 15

    and don't wanna see (since "color" is empty I don't wanna have it displayed):

    material: metal
    color:
    size: 15

    The formula I created is:

    =Y1&":"&Y3&CHAR(10)

    Y1= title
    Y3= cell value

    But this leaves me with titles with blank cells (and values).

    How can I integrated a series of IF functions that check cell content of each column?

    1. Hello!
      If I got you right, the formula below will help you with your task:

      =IF(A2 < > "",A1&":"&A2&CHAR(10),"")&IF(B2 < > "",B1&":"&B2&CHAR(10),"")&IF(C2 < > "",C1&":"&C2&CHAR(10),"")

  24. Hi! I need to get reflect 30 if the sum of A2 + B2 is greater or equal to 30, then just reflect the ACTUAL sum of A2 + B2 if the result is less than 30. How should I write the formula? I tried below but I don't get the exact answer, considering the decimal point also, for ex. with result 29.5 it will reflect 30 when it should 29.5 only.
    =IF((A2+B2)>=30, "30", IF((A2+B2)<30, ""))

  25. Hello!

    I'm trying to come up with a formula that gives me any number that fulfills 2 conditions.
    For example:

    I need any random number that takes into consideration that value X doesn't go below 10% and value Y doesn't go below 35%.

    How is that possible?

  26. Im trying to make a formula, but not too handy with excel.

    Its a condion,

    lets say if O8 has a Letter E turn it red and if has letter L turn it green

    Could someone help me.
    Thanks

  27. Anyone know why my formula is not working?
    Column B Year 2021, 2020, 2019, down to 1999
    Column C Week Number 2,3,4,5,6, up to 53
    Formula being used: =IF((AND(B40327=2021, C40327=52)), "Yes", "No")
    Result is No in everything even though I have 57 that should meet the condition of equalling 2021 in B and 52 in C

    Can anyone help please?

    1. Hello!
      Unfortunately, without seeing your data it is difficult to give you any advice. Why does 57 have to match 2021 and 52?

    How can I apply,..............plz

    1. Hi!
      I hope you have studied the recommendations in the tutorial above. It contains answers to your question
      If my understanding is correct,

      =IF(AND(A1+B1>20,C1+D1>46,A1+B1+C1+D1>65),"A+","")

      1. Thank you sir

    2. can you just help me

  35. I am working with timesheets. So basically I need a formula to state if the total hours worked is less than 2 that it remains 2 but if it is more than 2 that it shows the true value. How do I do that? Please help me.

  36. Plz help,

    if (b1+c1>=20)+ (b2+c2>=46)= >79 it will be A+ how to apply

    1. Hi!
      I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. Could you please describe it in more detail? What result do you want to get?

  37. Please
    how will I write a formula whereby I weight range value and want to group these weights. (if the weight is 0-3.5tons then excel gives me 3.5<7.5tons......) something of the sort.

  38. IF(A2*B2<=4,"1"*C2, IF(A2*B2<=8,“2”*C2, IF(A2*B212,”4”*C2))))

    IF A2xB2 = 1, 2,3 or4 value = 1
    IF A2xB2 = 5, 6, 7,or 8 value =2
    IF A2xB2 = 9,10,11,12 value =3
    IF A2xB2 = greater than 12 value =4

    the new assigned value of 1,2,3, 4 would be multiplied by value in column C2

    What am I doing wrong? Still a beginner in excel so any help would be appreciated.

  39. Thanks for the tips on using the IF condition.
    However, I would like to share my doubts regarding the topic under discussion. The question is:
    I have this formula, below, where I$3 are the hours, which range from 0 to 10; G and H are the entry and exit times.
    =IF(AND(I$3>=$G4,I$3<=$H4),$F4.0)

    I want excel to fill in the cells that fall between the entry time and exit time, but in cases where the entry time is greater than the exit time (for example when the worker enters at 8 pm to leave at 6 am) the above formula is no longer valid.
    Therefore, I ask for your help in improving the formula.
    Thanks

    1. Hello!
      I don't understand how your formula works. If you use time, then the formula does not work for the interval from 13-00 to 23-00. Do the cells contain the time or the usual numbers from 1 to 12? Give examples of source data.

  40. Greetings friends, I am working on a spreadsheet for my work but I do not know how to make the calculator add the odd results by a constant figure, for example by 10, I would appreciate any help thanks.

  41. Hi Alexander,
    I hope all is well
    I am trying to come up with a formula that reads a calculation whereby if the month is may and the year is more than and equal to 2027 and less than and equal to 2046 (The range of years is between 2027 and 2046) and month is may

    If the 3 conditions above are correct then I want it to multiply two numbers (lets say 4*5) in every May of the period between 2027 and 2046.

    I succeeded in the month part but not the range of years all together

    Highly Appreciated

    1. Hello!
      With the MONTH function, you can determine the month, and with the YEAR function, you can determine the year from the date. Define the month and year and use these conditions in the IF function.
      I hope it’ll be helpful. If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.

  42. Hi Please solve this. We have two cell in row A and B.

    A B
    1 1
    1 2
    1 3
    2 1
    2 2
    2 3
    3 1
    3 2
    3 3

    where A and B matched with above number then result should be below.

    A B Result should be
    1 1 A
    1 2 B
    1 3 C
    2 1 D
    2 2 E
    2 3 F
    3 1 H
    3 2 I
    3 3 J

  43. HI there,

    I am trying to do the following -

    A1 = Target date
    B1 = Completion date
    C1 = State (Open / OVERDUE / CLOSED)

    If the target date from column A is met column C will state OPEN - =IF(A1=TODAY,"OPEN"
    and if it has gone past the target date it states OVERDUE - =IF(A1<TODAY,"OVERDUE"

    however I also need the formula to consider column B which is the date of completion
    IF 'TODAY' has hit/gone past completion date column C will state CLOSED and ignore the previous part of the formula.
    If no dates have been entered column C will remain black

    Please help ?

    1. Hi!
      I hope you have studied the recommendations in the tutorial above. It contains answers to your question.
      Your explanations are not very clear, but I guess the formula could be something like this:

      =IF(A1=TODAY(),"Open", IF(AND(A1 < TODAY(),B1 > TODAY()),"Overdue", IF(AND(A1 < TODAY(),B1 < = TODAY()),"Closed", "")))

      If this is not what you wanted, please describe the problem in more detail.

      1. I am looking for something similar, but different:
        A1: ETA
        B1: Quantity due by ETA
        C1: Late if not received by today

        =IF(AND([@ETA]<[@[Late if not received by this date]],([@[Due In]]=0)),"Closed","Late")

        I am using this formula, it is *almost* working. For those dates that are before today, it is fine, but for future dats it is labeling Late. I am unsure how to add to the formula to read Future.

        Could you assist?

        Thank you.

        1. Hello!
          It is very difficult to understand a formula that contains unique references to your workbook worksheets. Hence, I cannot check its work.
          The simplest formula looks like this:

          =IF(A1>=TODAY(),"Close","Late")

  44. =IF(C3="n", B3-A3,IF(AND(C3="y",SQRT((B3-A3)/2)=0,(B3-A3)/2,(B3-A3)/2+0.5)))

    I'm trying to make it so that if a cell equals "n", it'll just subtract one cell from the other and if the cell equal "y", it will then check if one cell subtracted from the other equals zero. If it does equal zero, it'll divide the cells by two, and if not, it'll divide the cells by two and then add .5. I can't figure out what is wrong with my formula, but every time I hit enter, it tells me that there is. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

    1. Hello!
      I don't really understand your terms. But this formula will work.

      =IF(C3="n",B3-A3,IF(AND(C3="y",(B3-A3)=0),(B3-A3)/2,(B3-A3)/2+0.5))

    2. if the cell equals "y", it will check if the square root of one cell subtracted from the other equals 0*

  45. Hi,

    I need a formula for below:

    Current Period Start Date 1-Jan-21
    Current Period End Date 31-Dec-21

    Payment Periods (sample) below:

    Start Date End Date
    1. 10-Mar-19 10-Mar-21
    2. 9-Apr-21 08-Nov-21
    3. 15-May-20 15-Feb-23

    I need IF formula for A,B and C as respective columns after End date column:

    A=Period (in days) for Previous Years, i.e Before 31-Dec-2020

    C=Prepaid period (in days) from, i.e From 31-Dec 2021 onwards

    Kindly request your help.

      1. Hi Sir, Thanks. DATEDIF is helpful to calculate difference between two dates. However I need to segregate the results to the days for "previous year", "current year" and "future years"?

        Below is my problem:

        Current Period Start Date 1-Jan-21
        Current Period End Date 31-Dec-21

        Payment Periods (sample) below:

        Start Date End Date (Samples)

        2. 9-Apr-21 08-Nov-21
        3. 15-May-20 15-Feb-23

        I need IF formula for A,B and C as respective columns after End date column:

        A=Period (in days) for Previous Years, i.e Before 31-Dec-2020
        B=Period (in days) for Current Year, i.e 01-Jan-2021 to 31-Dec-2021
        C=Prepaid period (in days) from, i.e From 31-Dec 2021 onwards

        1. Hello!
          For example #1, use these two formulas:

          =IF(DATE(YEAR(B1),1,1)>A1,DATEDIF(A1,DATE(YEAR(B1),1,1),"d"),"")

          =IF(DATE(YEAR(B1),1,1)>A1,DATEDIF(DATE(YEAR(B1),1,1),B1,"d"),DATEDIF(A1,B1,"d"))

          A1 is 10-Mar-19
          B1 is 10-Mar-21

          1. Thank you Sir.

  46. I'm trying to get an if function to cooperate with me.

  47. tomorrow is my assignment test so do you send me dum excel file to practice all advance formula i.e, multiplr if,sumifs,index,power query,time and dates subtraction,pivot table...and more,,,
    which will help me to build my confidence....please help me ???

  48. I'm attempting to do a nested If/or to populate cells based on text contents of another cell, regardless of case of the words in the source cell.
    Basic summary: If A1 contains the word "Normal" or "normal" in the text, A2 = "Normal"
    If "abnormal" or "Abnormal", A2 = "Abnormal"
    If "no call" or "No Call", A2 = "No Call"

    What I have currently is below, but I can't find the error.

    =IF(OR(((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("abnormal",a3)),"Abnormal"),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("no call",a3)),"No Call"),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("normal",a3)),"Normal"))

    1. Hello!
      Please re-check the article above since it covers your case.

      =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("abnormal",A3)),"Abnormal", IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("no call",A3)),"No Call", IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("normal",A3)),"Normal","")))

      1. Thank you for your help! I hadn't realized I was missing that set of quotation marks. I overcomplicated it for what I needed, it seems.

  49. I am trying to create an IF/AND Statement with 2 criteria. The criteria are below. Each point value needs to have both the start and spread value achieved to hit that point value.

    Point Value Starts/Spread

    24 8 / $3,300
    18 7 / $2,900
    12 6 / $2,500
    6 5 / $2,100

  50. I have a formula I am trying to come up with and have multiple ranges of numbers involved.

    Is converting the numbers below into a formula so when I enter my blood pressure readings into my data sheet so the status column changes to the appropriate status when the following conditions are met for each status.

    NORMAL less than 120 and less than 80
    ELEVATED between 120 129 and less than 80
    HYPERTENSION STAGE 1 between 130 139 or between 80 89
    HYPERTENSION STAGE 2 140 or Higher 140 or 90 or Higher 90
    HYPERTENSIVE CRYSIS Higher than 180 180 and/or Higher than 120 120

    For example when I enter 118/75 the status changes to Normal
    138/65 the status changes to HYPERTENSION STAGE 1
