    1. Hello!
      Sorry, I do not fully understand the task. ould you please describe it in more detail? What result do you want to get? Thank you!

  2. Hi can anyone spot the error in the following formula? Thanks.

    =IF(C$7<=55,"37%", IF(55<C$7<=60,"26%", IF(60<C$765,"12.5%"))))

    It gives either 37% (for 55) as outcome.

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

      =IF(C$7<=55,"37%",IF(AND(55

  3. Hello, I am attempting to forecast employee availability based upon a singular calendar date.

    Through conditional formatting I’ve created cells to be filled if they align with the start and end dates based upon a singular employee being able to forecast 10 different start and end dates columns.

    I was able to get all 10 to feed into a singular cell based on a IF(OR(AND statement, however I will only get a 1 if true and 0 if false. For the entirety of the formula...

    My end-state is that I would like to create a data validation that doesn’t allow any date to overlap any of the other dates.

    My thought was if a cell yielded 1, great! If the cell went greater than 1, then the user would get an error message stating the date overlaps with another.

    Unless you know a better solution? I am all ears, Grand Master Yoda :)

    Please Help
    Warm Regards, Michael

      Unfortunately, without seeing your data it is impossible to give you advice.

      I'm sorry, it is not very clear what result you want to get. Could you please describe your task in more detail and send us a small sample workbook with the source data and expected result to support@ablebits.com? Please shorten your tables to 10-20 rows/columns and include the link to your blog comment.

      We'll look into your task and try to help.

  12. Is there a way to make this Countif statement work?

    =COUNTIF(C11:C112,"Low", AND D11:D112,"Work in Progress")

    1. Hello!
      Unfortunately, without seeing your data it is difficult to give you any advice. I am assuming you have not one but several conditions to count. Therefore, I recommend using the COUNTIFS function. Read this detailed instruction.
      I hope this will help, otherwise please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

  13. guys i've spend 5 hours. I just can't figure this out, so i seek help from you and god himself.
    I want to make an IF statement between theese numbers.
    7% $1,000.00
    8% $10,000.00
    9% $50,000.00
    9.50% $100,000.00

    how do I make if between 1000 and 9999 then show 7% or between 10000 and 49999 then show 8% etc.. etc...

    all my love

    1. Hello!
      I hope you have studied the recommendations in the tutorial above. It contains answers to your question

      =IF(A1>=100000,9.5%,IF(A1>=50000,9%,IF(A1>=10000,8%,7% ) ) )

      Hope this is what you need.

      1. I have another great question which is even harder to figure out.
        I got this cummulative calculations which starts with
        5% of all up to 10,000.00 $
        10% of all between 100001 and up to 20,000.00 $
        12% of all between 20001 up to 50,000.00 $
        etc. etc..

        how do I make that calcualtion so it won't keeping make 5% of all after 10k but still SUM the all the differnet percentages?

        thx for your time and help. how can I share your knowledge with the community?

        1. Hello!
          You have not described all the conditions and the expected result, but I think the following formula will suit you:

          =MIN(A1,10000)*5% + MAX(0,A1-MIN(MAX(0,A1-20000),30000) - MAX(0,A1-50000)-10000)*10% + MIN(MAX(0,A1-20000),30000)*12% + MAX(0,A1-50000)*12%

          I hope it’ll be helpful.

      2. Thx for your fast reply. I just figured it out my self.
        the "=IF" functions does not work. I ahve to use an "=IF(And(" function.
        so the code gonna look like this
        =if(and(K14=F12,K14=F13,K14=F14,K14=F15,K14=F16,K14=F17,K14=F18),E18,"Forkert beløb i j14"))))))))

        Thx for helping it's much appreciated

  14. I was looking all over on how to code the IF AND OR formula for different shifts base on a time and your example on the grades showed me the way.
    =IF(ISBLANK(D1),"",IF(AND(D1>=TIME(6,0,0),D1=TIME(14,0,0),D1<TIME(22,0,0)),"2nd Shift","Night Shift")))
    There may be a better way, but this is working
    Thanks

  15. I was wondering if you could help me? I am trying to figure out what is wrong with this formula. I keeping getting the #VALUE! error.

    =IF((AND(G2=OR("AF","SA"),(F2="R"))),"5.0%",IF(AND(G2=OR("AF","SA"),(F2=OR("S","F"))),"6.0%",IF((AND(G2=OR("NA","EU","AS","OC"),(F2=OR("R","S","F")))),"6.0%")))

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hello!
      Your formula is incorrect. Pay attention to how to write the AND and OR conditions correctly. See above Example 3 - Using IF with AND & OR functions.

      G2=OR(“AF”,”SA”) - incorrect

      OR(G2=“AF”,G2=”SA”) - correct

  16. Hello,

    I have a table with multiple columns - Gift, Type, Date, Year Since Gift & Exempted.

    Under Type there is a 2 option dropdown menu. - Charity and BPR.

    I have got the Year since gift to automatically calculate the years.

    What I would like to be able to do is have the Exempt column show "yes" or "no" if the gift is exempt.

    If the Type column shows "Charity" it is exempt, so the exempt column would need to show Yes.
    If the Type column shows "BPR" and it has been more than 2 years in the years since gift column it would be exempt, so would need to show "Yes". If its not exempt, I would like the column to show "No".

    This is the formula that I have used, but it does not work correctly.

    =IF(OR(AND(F14="BPR",H14>2),OR(F14="Charity",H14>=0)),"Yes","No")

    Please can you advise.

    Thank you!

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

      =IF(OR(AND(F14="BPR",H14>2),AND(F14="Charity",H14>=0)),"Yes","No")

      I hope this will help.

      1. Hi,

        Thank you for this!

        I am however having the same problem. It works correctly for the BPR output but if I change the dropdown to Charity it does not change.

  17. I'm trying to work our a formula to add times to different delivery methods. for example . if seafreight add 42 days to dispatched date. if Airfreight add 14 days to dispatched date.

    any ideas

    1. Hello!
      I hope you have studied the recommendations in the tutorial above. If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:

      =IF(B1="seafreight",A1+42,IF(B1="Airfreight",A1+14,""))

      1. Thanks your so much

  18. Hi

    I would want a formula to sum the multiple cells only in case whereever it is mentioned as roll up.

    MatchID Status Amount
    12345. Roll up HERE I need to have the sum the amount of below two rows
    12345. 100
    12345. 100

  19. Hello,

    I wonder if you can help? I am trying to get a score in excel. We have to score clients on the amount of outgoing they spend. For example if someone has an outgoing <2000 they get a score of 0, if they have -1000 to -5000 they get a score of 1, if they have -5001 to -10000 they get a score of 2.

    Does that make sense? Basically scoring someone on their outgoings but I don't know how to do this with minus figures and when someone has a from to figure.

    Any help would be great.

    1. Hello!
      Explain your terms. The amount 1500 refers to both a score of 0 and 1.
      Please describe your problem in more detail. It’ll help me understand it better and find a solution for you.

  20. I was able to do a work around of some sort that I'm okay with using for now. Id still like to know why its failing but I'm okay for now. This is my work around formula below:

    =IF(A9="REC 365",IF(C9="5 Year 4.99%",IF(E9="A 3.30",'REC Data Set'!A3:G25,"")))

    When the "A" is introduced, it works fine. Very strange.

    Thanks for listening to me complain LOL

  21. I am trying to put a formula together that is checking to see if 3 separate criteria's are met, and if they are met, it will populate data from another sheet in the same document. I've tried multiple formulas but they aren't exactly working. Please see below:

    =IF(A9="REC 365", 1 * IF(C9="5 Year 4.99%",'REC Data Set'!A3:G25,"")) ---This one works but when i introduce the third criteria, it fails:

    =IF(A9="REC 365", 1 * IF(C9="5 Year 4.99%", 1 * IF(E9="3.30",'REC Data Set'!A3:G25,"")))

    I got closer with the AND argument but it doesn't work exactly, just gives me a value of false
    =AND(A9="REC 365", AND(C9="5 Year 4.99%", AND(E9="3.30", 'REC Data Set'!A3:G25,"")))

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    1. how can u get result? you asking for result with many cells in one cell.. check again

      1. Hi,
        For me to be able to help you better, please describe your task in more detail. Please specify what you were trying to find, what formula you used and what problem or error occurred.

    2. Hello!
      It is very difficult to understand a formula that contains unique references to your workbook worksheets.
      I assume that you have a number in cell E9. You are comparing it to the text "3.3". Write down the condition E9 = 3.3
      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

      1. Good Morning! Thank you for your reply!

        I understand its difficult to decipher what I have going on here, and I appreciate your assistance.

        I do have 3.30 in cell E9. I have also tried 3.3. Is there anyway you could (or be willing to) take a look at my document so you can see what I'm doing wrong? I have a formula that works for everything until it evaluates the last part for cell E9. Please see below:

        =IF(A9="REC 365",IF(C9="5 Year 4.99%",IF(E9="3.3",'REC Data Set'!A3:G25,"")))

        If I remove the E9 portion the formula works fine. I am out of ideas at this point and I've even gone in and tried referencing different cells and removing formatting from E9 and trying to use different cells instead of E9 to try everything I can think of. Please let me know if you are willing to take a look.

        Thanks again either way!

        1. Hello!
          I already wrote to you that you are comparing text with a number. Change the formula

          = IF(A9 = "REC 365", IF(C9 = "5 Year 4.99%", IF(E9 = 3.3, 'REC Data Set'! A3: G25, "")))

          1. Thank you for your help!

            1. =IF(A9="REC 365",1*IF(C9="5 Year 4.99%",RECDataSet!A1,""),"time to go")

              this can work

        2. I want to add that it has something to do with E9 being a number. When I change the formula to this:

          =IF(A9="REC 365",IF(C9="5 Year 4.99%",IF(L10="G",'REC Data Set'!A3:G25,"")))

          It works perfectly. For some reason the formula fails when it involves numbers of any sort.
          L10 is just a random cell i used for testing and populated it with the value G. Any ideas on why it would fail with it being a number?

          Thanks again!

          1. how can u get result of many cells in one cell?

    3. I have also tried this method:

      =IF(AND(A9="REC 365", C9="5 Year 4.99%", E9="3.30"), 'REC Data Set'!A3:G25)

      I'm getting a result of FALSE because something about this formula isn't true? I don't understand. All criteria is being met, this formula should at the very least evaluate as true.

  22. HI I M REQUIRED FOLLOWING FORMAT COMPLETE: -

    I HAVE THREE COLMS

    B=CW C=PW D=DIFFERENCE (CW-PW)

    I HAVE REQUIRED A FORMULA:
    IF D IS MORE THAN B SHOWS CALL, D IS MORE THAN C SHOWS PUT, IF B AND C FIGURES DIFFERENCE NOT DOUBLE THEN SHOWS SIDEWAYS.

    1. Dear Sir/ Madam

      I m using under mention formula

      I want if C2=B2 difference is not double shows sideways also shows sideways

      1. Hello!
        Your formula is wrong. The information you provided is not enough to understand your case and give you any advice. Please provide me with an example of the source data and the expected result.

  23. Hi,

    Amazing work Ablebits.com..

    I try the formula here:
    =IF(S4,"SUBMITTED","NOT SUBMITTED")

    S4 represent the date of actual submission. I need to add another criteria "Ready by QC" in the formula.
    If not mistaken, I need to have another date for "Ready by QC", correct?

    Example:
    Column A: Date Actual submission is: 20-09-2020
    If the actual date key in, column C will turn to "Submitted", If empty, it will appear "Not Submitted"

    Column B: Date sent for QC: 18-09-2020
    Column C will turn to 'Ready by QC". If not key in the date column B, it will turn to submitted.

    i am not sure if this the correct explaination.

    1. Hello!
      Based on your description, it is hard to completely understand your task. However, I’ll try to guess and offer you the following formula:

      =IF(B1<>"","Ready by QC",IF(A1<>"","Submitted",""))

      Hope this is what you need.

  25. Hi,

    i am working with the Excel 2016 and I need a formula that will check if the the name in the first column is consistent with the names in the column alongside.
    For instance:
    Column B: Fruit, Vegetable; Beef.
    Column C: Strawbarry, Apple; Potatoes, Salad greens Spinach, Turnips, Onions, beef, pork, sausage, veal, chicken

    Fruit: strawbarry, apple;
    Vegetable: Potatoes, Salad greens Spinach, Turnips, Onions,
    Meat: beef, pork, sausage, veal, chicken

    I need to check with a third column (D) if the column B is Fruit and the column C is Strawbarry, the check is correct --> "Ok"; while if the column B is Fruit and the column C is chicken the check will be negative --> "Non ok".

    Please help me with this.
    Thanks

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

      =IF(A1=(IF(SUM(--(B1={"strawbarry","apple"}))=1,"Fruit", IF(SUM(--(B1={"Potatoes","Salad","greens","Spinach","Turnips","Onions"}))=1,"Vegetable", IF(SUM(--(B1={"beef","pork","sausage","veal","chicken"}))=1,"Meat","" ) ))),"OK","NOT")

      The fastest and correct way to determine which species a product belongs to is to use the VLOOKUP function. But your information is not enough to give you advice on its use.

  26. What if i want to seperate date column into 5 combinations such as "0-30 days", "31-60 Days", "61-90 Days", "91-120 Days", "120 Days n Above".

    Thanks

    1. Hello!
      I hope you have studied the recommendations in the tutorial above. It contains answers to your question
      Please try the following formula:

      =IF((D1-TODAY())<=30,"0-30 days", IF(D1-TODAY()<=60,"31-60 days", IF(D1-TODAY()<=90,"61-90 days", IF(D1-TODAY()<=120,"91-120 days", "120 Days n Above") ) ))

  27. Hello,

    I'm working on formula..

    There is three input strings and based on that i need to find the answer... for i.e.. Box size - 8ft / Application - Chill / Door opening - Limited - for these inputs answer should come as C150e or any one input wrong answer should come as NA.

    1. Hello!
      Based on your description, it is hard to completely understand your task. However, I’ll try to guess and offer you the following formula:

      =IF(A1*B1*C1=8,"C150e","NA")

  28. I am working with Excell 2010 and I have a sheet like bellow

    Cement, Brick, Sand (50 Item) = these all item will show as "Civil"
    Wood, Board, Paint (15 Item) = these all item will show as "Carpentry"
    Glass, Aluminium, Lock (10 item) = these all item will show as "Aluminium"
    Paint, Polish, PaintWages (5 Item) = these all item will show as "Paint"
    and many more.

    I put a formula like it.
    =IF(OR(A1="Aluminium Work (WIP)",A1="Aluminum & Glass work (HTL - Advance)",A1="Glass Materials ( WIP )"),"Aluminium",IF(OR(A1="Door Frame",A1="False Celling (HTL Febricator Advance)",A1="Flush Door",A1="Miscellaneous (Carpentry)",A1="Plastic Door",A1="Receiption decorational expenses (wip)",A1="Solid Door"),"Carpentry","")))

    But After putting more then 25 logic it is not working, please help me.

    1. Hello!
      The IF function has a limit on the number of conditions. I recommend using a 2-column table in which each product has a corresponding name. For example, Cement - Civil, Brick - Civil. With the VLOOKUP function, you will insert the name from this table into your main table.
      Read how to do a Vlookup in Excel.
      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

    If A1="Contract",B1="Cold" and C1<=1 year from today's date, display 7.5%, but if A1="Contract",B1="Cold" and C1<=2-4 years from today's date, display 3%.

    A1 can be: Contract, Casino or Forms
    B1 can be: cold or warm
    and the percentages for all change based 1-4 years from today's date

    I can't figure out how to incorporate all of the conditions within one formula.

    Thank you so much!

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

      =IF(AND(A1="Contract",B1="Cold",DATEDIF(TODAY(),C1,"y")<=1),7.5%,IF(AND(A1="Contract",B1="Cold",OR(DATEDIF(TODAY(),C1,"y")>=2,DATEDIF(TODAY(),C1,"y")<=4)),3%,))

      To find the difference between dates, use the DATEDIF function.

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

      1. Thank you for your help. I put the formula in and changed the cells and I am receiving a #NUM! error.

        1. Hello!

  32. i have a problem hope you can help me.

    I want to construct a if statement such that

    A1=10000
    B1= 12 or 24 or 36
    C1 =??

    i want to automatically calculate if B1=12, C1=A1/2, if B1=24, C1=A1 and B1=36, C1=A1*1.5

    Can someone help me?

    Many thanks

    1. Hello!
      Please try the following formula:

      =IF(B1=12,A1/2,IF(B1=24,A1,IF(B1=36,A1*1.5,"")))

      or

      =IFS(B1=12,A1/2,B1=24,A1,B1=36,A1*1.5)

      I hope this will help

  33. Hi ,
    I wondered if you could help me with the following problem!
    =IF($I$9=$A$3:$A$40,$C$3:$C$40,if($I$9=$B$3,$C$3:$C$40,0)

    Can anyone please assist?

    1. Hello!
      Your formula is missing parentheses.

      =IF($I$9=$A$3:$A$40,$C$3:$C$40,IF($I$9=$B$3,$C$3:$C$40,0))

      Is this the problem?

  34. Solve the the issue in the equation
    =IF(OR(H8>=6,P8>=40%)2000, 2500, IF(OR(H8>=5,P8>=40%), 1500, 2000, IF(OR(H8>=4,P8>=40%), 750, 1500, IF(OR(H8<4,P8<40%),0,0))))

    1. Hello!
      I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. For me to be able to help you better, please describe your task in more detail. Please specify what you were trying to find, what problem or error occurred. Give an example of the source data and the expected result.
      It’ll help me understand it better and find a solution for you.

  35. Say A1, A2, A3 and A4 cells with 100 characters
    if you make the following formula

    =IFS(1=1,CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4))

    it throws a #Value error, I believe because A1...A4 exceeds the 255 text length

    If you use
    =IF(1=1,(A1 &A2 &A3&A4))

    then it works as a charm

    Anybody knows why this happens?

    2. I mean by the second formula

      =IF(1=1,CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4))

      IF function is working, not IFS

  36. I have rows with some data in column A the same and need to combine data in column B whenever the data in column A is the same.
    What formula can I use to summarize this data? A pivot table summarized the data, but it’s still shown in separate cells. I need to have one cell per column A answer.

  37. Thank you that worked perfectly. The calculating cell contains FALSE until all conditional are met. Is there a way FALSE can be blank until all conditions are me?
    Thanks you

    1. Hello!
      If I understand your task correctly, You can use something like this formula —

      =IF(A1>B1,A1,"")

      Use "" instead of FASLE.

  38. =IF(A4="big creek",“Karen”,IF(A4="vista AOR","Jim",IF(A4="alhambra","Martin")))

    I know I can't use * for remaining characters with IF function. Is there a way to use multiple IF statements with partial texts and not case sensitive? The above did not work.

    Really appreciate the help!

    1. =IF(K:K="published","Live-API",IF(K:K="blocked","",IF(K:K="published","Live")))

      Can I use the OR condition here?

      Live-API or Live

      1. Hello!
        There are 2 conditions in your formula

        K:K=”published”,”Live-API”
        and
        K:K=”published”,”Live”

        The information you provided is not enough to understand your case and give you any advice, but this is wrong.

    2. Hello!
      Instead of the "* big *" condition, you can use the formula to find the value in the text

      ISNUMBER(SEARCH("big",A4,1))

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

  39. Good afternoon,

    I am having great difficulty trying to fix some else's spreadsheet...this never happens of course. They are gardeners so the fact that they managed to fire up a computer and enter the data is pretty impressive and not in their wheelhouse....nor is Excel in mine.

    The problem. I am needing to do a secondary sort on data. The parameter is "soil conditions" is the secondary column header.
    The range are currently all text values entered individually in several hundred cells:

    dry
    dry - avg
    average
    avg - moist
    moist
    avg - wet
    wet
    submersed

    I need to be able to assign a numeric value based on the range in this order, 1 through 8. The IFS argument does not appear to work, nor does IF in series.

    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Richard

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

      =VLOOKUP(A1,{"dry",1;"dry – avg",2;"average",3;"avg – moist",4;"moist",5;"avg – wet",6;"wet",7;"submersed",8},2,0)

      The VLOOKUP function selects the desired condition from the array.

  40. Column A Column B Return
    aa p P and H
    aa h P and H
    aa p P and H
    aa p P and H

    I have a sheet like this above, Column A has ID#s and column B has different values for tht same ID, in column C i want to combine the values of Column B for each ID in column A and return those values in Column C. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS.
    Thank you

  41. Hello, i have three equations.
    In sales team monthly target assigned, if salesman achieve less than 60% comm. will b zero, if 60-80% 2.5% comm. & more than 80% 2.5+1.5%(team leader1.5%)
    Please help me !!!!!

    1. Hello!
      I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. Could you please describe it in more detail?
      What is "2.5% comm"? What does "2.5 + 1.5% (team leader1.5%)" mean?

      1. Lemme explain you again ... we have a sales team with monthly commission assigned, if salesman achieve less than 60% of his target then commission will b zero, if he achieve 61-80% of his target will 2.5% of commission on same, if he achieve more 81% and above will get 2.5% commission & his team leader will get 1.5% commission ...
        hope its clear, pls help urgently

        1. Hello!
          If cell D1 contains the monthly sales target, and cell G1 contains the total sales of the seller, then the commission formula might be:

          =IF(G1/D1<0.6,0,G1*0.0025)

          For the team leader -

          =IF(G1/D1<0.8,0,G1*0.0015)

  42. Hi, Im trying to create a formula using the IF Function with multiple conditions.
    My scenario is that if
    Q1= Yes and Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and 6 = Yes or No the outcome = Significant.
    But if Q1 = No and Q2 or Q3 or Q4 = Yes the outcome = High (it doesnt what Q5 and Q6 equal)
    And if Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4 = No but Q5 or Q6 = Yes then the outcome = medium
    And if all questions = no then outcome = low
    Thank you

    1. Hello!
      I hope you have studied the recommendations in the above tutorial.
      Please try the following formula:

      =IF(AND(Q1="Yes",OR(Q2="Yes",Q2="No"),OR(Q3="Yes",Q3="No"), OR(Q4="Yes",Q4="No"),OR(Q5="Yes",Q5="No"),OR(Q6="Yes",Q6="No")),"Significant", IF(AND(Q1="No",OR(Q2="Yes",Q3="Yes",Q4="Yes")), "High",IF(AND(OR(Q5="Yes",Q6="Yes"), OR(Q1="No",Q2="No",Q3="No",Q4="No")),"Medium", IF(AND(Q5="No",Q6="No",Q1="No",Q2="No",Q3="No",Q4="No"),"Low",))))

  43. Hi! I am trying to create a royalty % using the IF formula with multiple conditions.
    My scenario is that I have 5,000 patients in this 5 year plan. I am trying to come up with a 2 formulas broken out in two Tiers. The first tier or formula is 1,000 patients onboarded in Year 1 receive a 20% royalty. The second tier is royalty percentage for cumulative onboarding or remaining 4,000 patients receive a 3% royalty. BUT if we add new patients in year 3, those patients receive the 20%.

  44. I need specific formula for this problem
    I check attendance 3 times: 1st , 2nd, 3rd
    Now I would like my excel to mark LATE if the student:
    Got the 2nd and 3rd attendance but not the 1st
    and
    Got the 1st and 3rd attendance but not the 2nd
    and
    Got the 1st and 2nd attendance but not the 3rd

    1. Hello!
      I assume that if the attendance is negative, then the cell is empty. You can use the formula

      =IF(SUM(--ISBLANK(A1:A3))=1,"Late","")

      I hope it’ll be helpful.

  45. Hi! I am trying to create an IF formula with multiple conditions.
    My scenario is that I have 5,000 patients in this 5 year plan. The first 1,000 patients onboarded in Year 1 receive a 20% royalty. After that, the remaining 1000 patients onboarded receive only a 3% royalty. BUT if we add new patients in year 3, those patients receive the 20%. Let me know if I explained it correctly.

    1. To add: I am looking for a royalty % using the IF formula with multiple conditions.

      I am trying to come up with a 2 formulas broken out in two Tiers.

      The first tier is a royalty percentage the moment patients get enrolled in the model.
      The second tier is royalty percentage for cumulative onboarding of patients.

      1. Hello!
        Unfortunately, without seeing your data it hard to give you advice.
        For the condition in the IF function, I recommend using the COUNTIFS function. With COUNTIFS, you can count the number of patients in a given time. I recommend examples of using COUNTIFS.

        1. Hi! No problem, would the below data be helpful? Here is a financial model with the following scenario

          Contract value: $30,000,000
          Years: 5 year model
          Number of patients: up to 6,000
          Revenue per patient: 5,000
          Royalty to patients: Right now its fixed at 20% but I would like to base it on patients enrolled
          Gross Margin per patient: $2,062
          COGS: $2,938 (includes a 20% fixed royalty)
          Gross Margin: $12,373,920
          Gross Margin %: 41.2%

          I am struggling with coming up with a COUNTIFS formula for "royalty to patients"

  46. Hi there
    I#m trying several nests in my formula, but something is not working... And I'm not sure what can it be
    =IF( (D52>2); (if(2900>I52>5000); (if(J52="FC");"yes";"no");"no"))

    1. Sorry, this is the one I think should be ok
      =IF( ((D52I52>5000); (if(J52="FC");"yes";"no");"no");”no”)

      1. a b c d e f g h i j k
        19 3 15 2 11 2 16 1 16 3 15

        i want to add 19+15+11+16 when 2 or 3 come after any number.
        if 1 or 4 come then stop adding another column

        1. Hello!
          Explain the phrase "i want to add 19 + 15 + 11 + 16 when 2 or 3 come after any number." Why are these cells selected? Where do you enter 2 and 3?

  48. Hello, i have three set of data inputted manually. I have another column for the set of data to be copied if i input a character corresponding to that set of data.
    Example:
    A , B , C , D
    1 Q , R , S ,
    2 10, 19 , 7
    3 5 , 11 , 66 ,
    4 1 , 9 , 3 ,
    5 23 , 3 , 8 ,
    i want to type into D1 "1" for all the data under Q (i.e A2:A5) and it will copy that data into column D. If i type in "2" into D1, i want all the data under R to be copied in the column D. And if i type in "3" into D1, it will copy all the data under S into column D.
    Is this possible?
    Thank you in advance

    1. Hello!
      Column D in your case already contains data. Therefore, you can only replace this data with values from other cells using a VBA macro.

      Your phrase "And if i type in“ 3 ”into D1, it will copy all the data under S into column D." looks strange since this data is already written to column D

      1. Thanks for your response.
        D is meant to be a blank column. I think the spacing is making it look like it has data. D1:D5 is all empty. I want to put my formula in E1 so that the data will be copied onto column D.
        A , B , C , D , E
        1 Q , R , S ,
        2 10, 19 , 7
        3 5 , 11 , 66 ,
        4 1 , 9 , 3 ,
        5 23 , 3 , 8 ,
        Hope this is clearer.
        Thank you in advance for your time.

    1. Hello!
      I hope you have studied the recommendations in the above tutorial.
      If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:

      =IFS(B1>15,0,B1>13,C1*0.5,B1>11,C1*0.7,B1>10,C1*0.85,B1<=10,C1)
