  1. hey everyone, need help with a formula with a different outcome for 4 different Conditions;
    IF A1=R output should be 25
    IF A1=RR output should be 37.5
    IF A1=G output Should be 50
    IF A1=GG output Should be 93
    please anyone???

    1. Hi,
      Try this.
      =IF(A1="R", 25, IF(A1="RR", 37.5, IF(A1="G, 50, IF(A1="GG", 93, "Wrong input"))))
      Sincerely,
      Antti

  2. Hi!
    I need to highlight 20 columns, if 3 of the columns have yes then its good if not I need it flagged. How can I accomplish this?

  3. Hi, I have a pretty complex (for me) formula that i want to write.
    If a<b, then a*c
    If d e, AND if f="x", then a*g; BUT if f="y", then a*h; BUT if f="z", then a*i
    If j k, AND if f="x", then a*l; BUT if f="y", then a*m; BUT if f="z", then a*n
    If o p, AND if f="x", then a*q; BUT if f="y", then a*r; BUT if f="z", then a*s
    If a>p, AND if f="x", then a*t; BUT if f="y", then a*u; BUT if f="z", then a*v
    Can anyone please suggest a way how I can do this.

  4. Hi, I am using the IF with AND & OR functions. Within that though, I have a cell with a flavour name, which I want to assign a number. How do I do that, please?

    1. Basically, I want to say "(C3)banana + (D3)1.0 = (E3)$40" or "(C3)banana + (D3)2.0 = (E3)$75"
      C3 being the flavour and D3 being the weight, while E3 has the function which gives the price for the stated flavour and weight.

  5. I am trying to work an amortization schedule that will be calculated base on Purchase date-Sale Date-Floor plan-Non Floor Plan Date and availability date.
    Column G Column H Column K Column M
    Date of Purchase Date of Sale Floor plan due date Loan End date
    Jun-17 Jun-20 Dec-19 Jul-20
    Jun-17 Available None May-22
    Jun-17 June-20 None May-22
    This is what i have so far and it is working great.
    =IFS($K$99=$H$99,0,P1>$M$99,0,P1=$K$99,$O$99,P1$H99,0,P1>$K$99,O100-P32,$K$99=$H$99,0,TRUE,0)
    But as soon as my Floor Plan end date has None, the formula doesn't work any more. I need to add a this condition to my formula IF(AND(AND(Month=G1,K1="None",h1="available",Loan amount,0)
    Any suggestions?

  6. Hello.
    I have a spreadsheet that is giving me an issue.
    This what I have and its returning the correct response except for 128:Up with 132: Down
    and it returns "FALSE" if AV5 is blank.
    =IF(AW$5>0,IF(AW132="Down",IF(AW128="Down","Yes",IF(AW128="Up",IF(AW132="Up","Yes","No"))),"Yes"))

    What I want it to do in cell AV134:
    If AV5 is blank then I want AV134 to also be blank.
    IF AV132 AV128 AV134
    Down Down Yes
    Down Up No
    Up Down No
    Up Up Yes
    Thank you for any clarification that you are able to provide.

  7. I need to write formula where if column A equals multiple value (e.g. 1, 2, 5 & 6) and column B is more than 7, then "Y" if not "N".
    I wrote the formula as "IF(AND(OR(A=1, A=2, A=5, A=6), (B>7), "Y", "N")
    i think it's wrong since there's no "Y" value at all.
    Thanks!

  9. What kind of formula I need to obtain expiration date on courses that have different length of expiration i.e some expire in 7 days, some in 14 and others in 21 days. I only have their start date.

  10. Hello everyone,
    I hope you are well.
    I have a question, if somebody can help me out, I am struggling long time already.

    i have numbers from 0 to 360°. When i enter any numbers from 0 to 360, it should gave me the final answer as per below table. I did a formula that works but only for few numbers not all (=IF(AND(0H10), "0.5", "0")), so if am choosing numbers from 0 to 44, i have the answer 0.5 and more than 45 is answer 0,
    but now i came to a problem how to insert multiple IF and AND in one long formula. I tried but always something wrong.
    I would like to have in the empty cell with formula that is choosing automatically from the main table as per the insert number from 0 to 360°.

    N 000 0.5
    015 0.5
    030 0.5

  11. I have a list of mileage date captured over a month with numerous entries each day I need to extract the max and min mileage per day.
    please help with a formula

  12. I need help on a timecard formula. I'm brain-dead right now. If A + B + C > =40, "40" otherwise it should be the sum of A + B + C only. How do I do the "Otherwise" portion of this formula is the sum is less than forty hours?

  13. Hi, I am hoping there is a way to do this. It seems basic, but I am new to these Excel IF statements. I have two columns (F & G) that I need to have high, medium and low values in. And then I want to have a priority level column where I assign a priority level of either high, medium or low based off of the combination of the entries in columns F & G.
    Here is my scoring logic below. Wondering if this can be put into an IF statement and how to enter it?

    If 1 value is high and the other is high then the result is high
    If 1 value is high and the other is medium then the result is high
    If 1 value is high and the other is low then the result is medium
    If 1 value is medium and the other is medium then the result is medium
    If 1 value is medium and the other is low then the result is medium
    If 1 value is low and the other is low then the result is low

  14. Please send me correct formula

    FROM 1 TO 250000 THEN ACTUAL FIGURE
    FROM 250000 ABOVE THEN 250000

    1. Hi,
      Again, I don't know why, but for me this message board wont show my larger (L) than and smaller (S) than symbols. I will use capital L and capital S for them.

      Let's say that your number is on A column and starting from A1.

      =IF(A1 L= 250000, 250000, IF(A1 S 1, 0, A1))

      Hopefully this helps.
      Sincerely,
      Antti

  15. This is scenario I am struggling to create a multiple formula:
    1.If AA2 = Y and AB2 = Y results should be "Accrue income"
    2 If AA2 = N and AB2 = N results should be "not Accrue Income" and
    3. If AA2 = Y and AB2 = N results should be " Not Accrue Income and vice versa.
    Thank you for your help

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

      =IF(AND(A2="Y",B2="Y"),"Accrue income",IF(AND(A2="N",B2="not Accrue income"),"N",IF(AND(A2="Y",B2="N"),"Not Accrue income and")))

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

        What I want it to do in cell AV134:
        If AV5 is blank then I want AV134 to also be blank.
        IF AV132 AV128 AV134
        Down Down Yes

  16. Hi, Im trying to calculate the following,
    Rep 1 belongs to team 1
    Rep 2 belongs to team 2
    Rep 1 has an individual Count
    Team 1 has an average rate
    for Example:
    If rep 1 Count >=2 or the average rate for Team 1 >=3% then rep 1 will get 5 points, if the cell is blank then zero, if none of these is met then -2 points and same for team 2. this is what i have so far but is giving me an error on the formula:
    =IF(AND(C8="Team 1",$C$30>=3%),5,IF(AND(C8="Team 2",$C$29>=3%),5, IF(D8>=2),5, IF(OR(D8="-",d8=””)0, -2))))
    Hope this is clear, thank you in advance

    1. Hello!
      I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. Could you please describe it in more detail?
      What does "If rep 1 Count >=2"? Write an example of the source data and the result you want to get.
      It’ll help me understand it better and find a solution for you. Thank you.

    2. Nevermind, i was able to figure it out, =IF(OR(AND(C9="Team1",$C$30>=3%),(D9>=2)),5,IF(OR(AND(C9="Team2",$C$29>=3%)),5,-2))
      Thanks anyways, you're examples really helped me.

      1. =IF(D8="",0,IF(OR(AND(C8="Villains",$C$30>=3%),(D8>=2)),5,IF(OR(AND(C8="Heroes",$C$29>=3%)),5,-2)))

  17. My query is that in marksheet or data sheet some cell are empty and i want that i only write student name and blank cell with subject show automatically.

  18. I'm not sure if this has already been asked before but I am looking for a formula with both And and OR I believe that is looking at 3 different cells to have 4 different outcomes. with numbers between a certain figure
    if a1,b1,c1 is less than 5 and less than 240 then it is letter if a1,b1,c1 is less than 26 and less than 353 it is Large letter and then if it a1,b1,c1 is less than 160 and less than 450 it is Packet? if over 160 and 450 then box.
    Thank you for your time.

    1. Hello!
      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? Thank you!

      1. I would like 1 formula to display whether entering 3 dimensions (a1,b1,c1=25,150,350) if 1 of the cells is less than 5 and another is less than 240 it brings back "Letter" if 1 of the cells is less than 26 and another is less than 353 then it brings back "Large letter" if 1 of the cells is less than 160 and another is less 450 then it brings back "Packet" and if it has 1 cell over 450 then it is "box".

  20. Hello, this site has some great tutorials, but I'm stuck with a problem I can't find a solution to. Hoping you can assist. I have a table showing values month over month, like this:
    A1=project number
    B1=Project name
    C1=October budget
    D1=November budget
    E1=December budget
    What I would like to do is verify the values month over month and if it is the same it replace the value with $0, if it is more than the previous month, it shows the difference, if it is blank it shows the previous month as a negative loss, if it is less, it shows the difference as a negative. A bit convoluted but I feel the solution is just out of my reach!

  27. hello, i would need a bit of a help with formula.
    in sheet1 in column A i have names, they are starting from row 3. in row 2 starting from column B i have numbers from 1 to 31.
    numbers represent dates. so i am filling that table with "1" when someone is there and i leave cell empty when that person was not working that day.

    now hard part.
    sheet 2
    there i need some formula here i will be able to pick number/date and that formula to show me who was working on that day. then to print them, and to pick another date/number.

    thanks

    1. for first 2 dates i have done something like this
      =IF(D2=1,IF(Sheet1!D4=1,Sheet1!C4,""),IF(D2=2,IF(Sheet1!E4=1,Sheet1!C4,""),""))
      do i have to do same for all 31 dates or is there something easier?

  28. Hello! I cannot figure out the formula to "FLAG" a row for if each of the following conditions is not met:
    - If e2= "TRUE", then c2="TRUE" and d2="TRUE"
    - If d2= "TRUE", then c2="TRUE"
    - If c2= "FALSE", then d2="FALSE" and "e2="FALSE"
    - If c2= "TRUE"and either f2 OR g2="TRUE", then d2="TRUE"

    Please let me know if you can help! Thank you

  29. Hi, I have a table of data & want a formula to find all the orders which have both a basin and a PEP :
    IN052816 FRT FRT
    IN052816 BASIN VBAML55MSMNO
    IN052816 PKG PEP
    IN052817 FRT FRT
    IN052817 BASIN VB-BAR-48-NO
    IN052817 PKG PEP
    IN052817 ACC NONSTOCK
    I have tried pulling all the basins to a separate tab & using the following formula: =IF((AND(K:K=PEP!K:K,PEP!M:M="PEP")), "Pass", "Fail") (K is IN (1st) column, M is PEP (3rd) column) but all it comes up with is FAIL
    Please help!

    1. Hello Sally!
      I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. Could you please describe it in more detail?
      Is your data recorded in one cell or in several?
      There is not a single value in the sample data to find BOTH basin AND PEP. Each of the lines contains OR the first, OR the second.

      1. Hi Alexander, thank you for getting back to me.
        The original data is in one tab A-AF 1-29808, with each item on its own line & column (sorry the post above doesn't look like it).
        I appreciate the Basin & the PEP are on separate lines, I thought I could use the invoice number to determine the number of times they appear together as one invoice number would appear multiple times relating to each item on the invoice (K). I couldn't think of a way from this to find how many times a PEP (M) was on the same invoice as a Basin, so I copied all the Basins (L) onto one tab, and the PEP's onto another tab and tried the formula above on the basin tab, looking to the PEP tab to find a match.
        Column K = Invoice Number
        Column L = Category - Basin
        Column M = Item - PEP
        Does that help you understand what I am trying to do? and what data I am working with?
        Thanks
        Sally

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

          =IFERROR(INDEX(K1:K20, SMALL(IF("BASINPEP"=L1:L20&$M$1:$M$20,ROW(K1:K20)-0), ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(K1:K20))))),"")

          This is an array formula and it needs to be entered via Ctrl + Shift + Enter, not just Enter.
          If your table has header rows, replace 0 in the formula with the number of those rows.

  30. I am trying to create a formula for my spreadsheet for multiple ITEM in a single cell
    If there is a "29" in a cell, then formula will D1+E1,
    If there is a "31" in a cell, then formula will D1
    If there is a "32" in a cell, then formula will D1+E1-F1
    ...........

    Here 29,31,32 ... etc area type fabricated rebar size in civil construction.
    so i use following formla
    =IF(H1=29,"D1+E1",IF(H1=31,"D1",IF(H1=32,"D1+E1-F1")))
    For 29 answer shows "D1+E1" instead of (D1=5+E1=7)=12

    Please help!

    1. Hi,
      The reason it is showing D1+E1 is because you put it quotation marks.
      just put D1+E1.

    2. Hello!
      You named the condition "If there is a“ 29 ”in a cell, then formula will D1 + E1". This condition is written in your formula.
      Why do you expect "(D1 = 5 + E1 = 7) = 12" to be executed (I don't really understand what this expression means)?

      1. Hello, Can you help me solve this?

        I need a formula in cell C5 that does the following:
        IF A1+B1 4 but 9 but 15, return $75
        Thanks!

        1. Hello!
          Sorry, it's not quite clear what you are trying to achieve. Could you please describe it in more detail? What result do you want to get? Give an example of the source data and the expected result.

    1. Hello Linda!
      To calculate the amount for each person, use the SUMIF function. Use the person's name as a criterion for counting. Read the detailed instructions in this article.
      I hope this will help, otherwise please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

  34. Hello,

    I'm trying to determing which shipping containers were unloaded within the expected allocated time based on the number of pieces in the container. I have the total time it took to unload the containers in question and the amount of pcs on the containers. What formula can I use to determine if the container was unloaded within the threshold set based of the container pieces?

    Hoping someone can help me!

    < or = 399 pieces = 60 - 120 min per container
    400 - 899 pieces = 120 - 180 min per container
    900 - 1100 pieces = 180 - 240 min per container

    1. Hello Alex!
      Please try the following formula:

      =IF(A1<=399,IF(B1*60*24<=120,"Yes","No"), IF(A1<=899,IF(B1*60*24<=180,"Yes","No"), IF(A1<=1100,IF(B1*60*24<=240,"Yes","No"),"")))

      Cell B1 contains the execution time of the operation in the time format "hh:mm:ss"
      Hope this is what you need.

  35. Hello
    I'm looking for a way to create a formula or macro that will check the value or entry in a column then have it enter the results based on the formula/macro in 2 different columns.
    Example
    Column A Column B Column C
    12345 212456 230456
    12366 217456 (null or blank)

    For the above the criteria it would be IF column A = 12345 then column B = 21256 and column C = 230456
    The data in column A is large with over 300 possible numbers.

    1. Hello James!
      The information presented to you is not enough to give you advice.
      You didn't say anything about the verification criteria. But an Excel formula can only enter a value in one cell.

  36. Hello Alexander!
    I wonder if you can help me?
    I have a nested IF formula which works fine;
    =IFERROR(IF(Homepage!$L$4="Asda",'CPA - Hotspots Asda'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Tesco",'CPA - Hotspots Tesco'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Boots",'CPA - Hotspots Boots'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Field",'CPA - Hotspots Field'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Ireland",'CPA - Hotspots Ireland'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Morrisons",'CPA - Hotspots Morrisons'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Sainsburys",'CPA - Hotspots Sainsburys'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Sainsburys Trial",'CPA - Hotspots Sainsburys Trial'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Savers",'CPA - Hotspots Savers'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Superdrug",'CPA - Hotspots Superdrug'!B12,IF(Homepage!$L$4="Wilko",'CPA - Hotspots Wilko'!B12))))))))))),"")

    I now however need to add another element to this whereby even if L4 on the homepage states "Asda", if B28 states "No", I need it to direct to a different sheet, but if it states "Yes" it continues to pull from B12 on the 'CPA - Hotspots - Asda' sheet, and then I also need this to continue for each individual If statement. Is this possible at all? Thanks

    1. Hello Leena!
      It is very difficult to understand a formula that contains unique references to your workbook worksheets. For the same reason, I cannot check her work.
      If I understand your task correctly, you can change the formula

      =IF(AND(Homepage!$L$4=”Asda”, B28="Yes"), [your formula], IF(AND(Homepage!$L$4=”Asda”, B28="No"),[direct to a different sheet],""))

      I hope it’ll be helpful.

  37. Hello,
    I have a medical insurance cost comparison. Using data from multiple insurance quotations, with a number of factors to consider (Age, Gender, Salary and insurance Category), what formula would I have to use to return the cost in a specific cell (costing data found on a secondary worksheet, within the same workbook)? For example, Employee A is 30 years old, Single Male earning $4,070 per month and is entitled to Category B Insurance the cost from Insurer 1 = $6,696 per annum

  38. can anyone please help me with this.
    assume i have different data in A1 like 12ABCD999 OR 45JKLM888 OR 78MNOP111 and many more. now i want if value of first 2 number of A1 starts with 12 then my output should be "OK" and if value of first 2 number of A1 starts with 45 then my output should be "GREAT" and if value of first 2 number of A1 starts with 78 then output should be "FANTASTIC".
    Thank you.

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

      =IF(--LEFT(A1,2)=12,"OK",IF(--LEFT(A1,2)=45,"Great",IF(--LEFT(A1,2)=78,"FANTASTIC","")))

      I hope this will help

  39. Hi,
    Can anyone help me with this formula? I've been trying to create a Nested IF OR but just can't get it to work. I have a table with "Team" as a column heading in column A. I've added column D to the table for the office group. If column A is ftl, gai, or orl then column D should be fl. If column A is glf or nol then column D should be gcn. If column A is atl then column D should be geo. This is my formula but the result is always #VALUE!. Please help!
    =IF(OR([@Team]="ftl",[@Team]="gai",[@Team]="orl"),"fl"),IF(OR([@Team]="glf",[@Team]="nol","gcn"),IF(OR([@Team]="atl","geo"))

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

      =IF(OR(A1="ftl",A1="gai",A1="orl"),"fl",IF(OR(A1="glf",A1="nol"),"gcn",IF(A1="atl","geo","")))

      or IF function can be replaced with INDEX + MATCH functions

      =IFERROR(INDEX({"fl","fl","fl","gcn","gcn","geo"},MATCH(A1,{"ftl","gai","orl","glf","nol","atl"},0)),"")

      I hope it’ll be helpful.

      1. You're a Genius! I used the Index Match and it works perfectly! I never would have figured it out on my own. Thank you so much!!

        1. Hello!
          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.

  41. This formula result: #VALUE!.
    =IF(OR(AND(A4="APPLE",B4="ORANGE"),"DRINK",IF(AND(A4="BREAD",B4="BUTTER"),"EAT")))
    Could you please fix it? The expected result is: DRINK, BUTTER, OR FALSE (either one).
    Thank you in advance.

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

      =IF(AND(A4="APPLE",B4="ORANGE"),"DRINK", IF(AND(A4="BREAD",B4="BUTTER"),"EAT"))

      I hope it’ll be helpful.

      1. Thanks a lot, Alexander.
        It works perfectly!
        Have a nice day.
        Cheers,

  42. Hi,
    Can anyone please help me with my formula.
    I need "Yes" or "No" answer if the number in cell matches a number from any cell in another selected field. These two i have tried so far, but no luck.
    And sorry, my excel is in German.
    =WENN(A13=Tabelle1!A2:A29;"ja";"nein")
    =WENN(B16="SVERWEIS('INT-B-106 Kennzahlen nach Artik'!A13;Tabelle1!A:A;1;Tabelle1!A:A)";"ja";"nein")

    Thanks for help and have a great day!

    1. Hello!
      I propose to use the following formula (in English):

      =IF(SUM(--(IF(A13=Tabelle1!A2:A29,1,0)))>0,"yes","no")

      I hope this will help

  43. I need help in finalizing this formula. =IF(AND(L10>=1,L10<=10),250,SUM(L10-10)*11+250), IF(L10<1,0,""). The formula works great up to the last IF statement. I am needing it to return 0 if L10 is less than one or in other words equal to zero.

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

      =IF(AND(L10>=1,L10<=10),250,IF(L10<1,0,SUM(L10-10)*11+250))

      I hope this will help

  44. Good Morning,
    Please assist, I am struggling with the formula below.

    0.00 2,100.00 -5,400.00 -1,620.00
    I want Cell AA to be zero if the value in cell Z is less than 1

    1. Hello!
      The numbers in your table do not match the conditions in your formula. Therefore, your calculations are not very clear to me. However, it may be useful to you.

      =IF(Z5>Y5,Y5*30%,IF(Z5<1,Z5*0%))
      =IF(AND(Z5>0,Z5>Y5),Y5*30%,0)

  45. Hi,
    Following is an example of a data sheet with the 4 columns(A, B, C, D).The values in first three columns correspond(match) to each other but in Column D values are randomly located in different rows even though the column is sorted. I need to find out the correct value that corresponds to the value of Start and stop in each row. For example, there is a value in "Position" column that falls between the range of start(3904) and stop(4943) in first row but do not know how to find it?

    Any help will be appreciated.Thanks!

    1. Hello!
      You want to find the values in the "Position" slider, which are between the Start and Stop values. Between 3904 and 4943 there are values 4055.4252, 4375, 4600.4708 and many others. Explain which one you want to find?

  46. Hello,
    I have the following statement that works.
    =IF(OR(G6 = "high", H6 = "high", I6 = "high", J6 = "high"), 0.3*F6, F6)
    I now want to have the statement to look for a "medium" value in each of those cells and if it is a "medium" it would multiply F6 by 0.6 otherwise it would return F6 unchanged.
    If "high" it would multiply F6 by 0.3
    If there is a "high" in the string then it would ignore any medium.
    Thanks!

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

      =IF(OR(G6 = "high", H6 = "high", I6 = "high", J6 = "high"), 0.3*F6, IF(OR(G6 = "medium", H6 = "medium", I6 = "medium", J6 = "medium"), 0.6*F6, F6))

      I hope this will help

      1. Perfect! thanks!

  47. Hi is someone is able to help
    I need help with an IF formula
    I need help with, if the value in cell A1 sheet1 is + or - 10 of another cell in another sheet say Sheet2 cell A1 if yes then equals Cell B1 in sheet2 .

    hope this make sense thank you in advances

    1. Hello Glenn!
      I hope you have studied the recommendations in the above tutorial. Explain what "value in cell A1 sheet1 is + or – 10 of another cell in another sheet" means?

      1. Hi Alexander,
        I have studied the above tutorial I do understand how to calculate if cell A1 is within + or - 10 of Cell B1, but it is when it comes to the result I don't want it to equal good or bad I want it to if it falls within that + or - 10 I want it to equal another cell C1 but if it doesn't fall within it is a fail.

        1. Hello Glenn!
          If a value is written in cell A1, then the formula can no longer be written to it. This has already been discussed on the forum many times. So your question about the formula in cell A1 does not make sense. Only VBA Macro Can Solve the Problem

          1. Hi Alexander,
            Apologies I should have explained my situation better and included my formula.
            the formula I am running is =IF(ABS(A1-B1)<=C1,"ok","Fail") but instead of if the result is ok it equals a number in cell E1

            1. Hello!
              If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
              =IF(ABS(A1-B1)<=C1,E1,"Fail")

  48. Can I find the same for time ???
    I means if my difference in time is greater than 10 mins and my task done within 10mins
    If yes can you explain the formula

    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 formula you used and 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. Thank you.

  49. I tried several IF formulas but I am not getting the desired output. Please can you help me provide the appropriate formula to get the output.
    There are the conditions: (if the number is between 1 and 20, the value should be 3)
    1-20 figs - 3 days
    21–100 figs – 5 days
    101–200 figs – 8 days
    201–400 figs – 12 days
    401–600 figs – 14 days
    Please help.

  50. Hello,
    I am trying to understand the correct formula for my project. My goal is to develop an IF statement for the following. If the number in column C is within a range it gets a score of 6-8.

    Score Legend
    1-50,000,000 Scores a 6
    50,000,001 – 100,000,000 Scores a 7
    100,000,001 – 500,000,000 Scores an 8

    Column C Score Column D Score
    400,000,000
    85,000,000
    48,000,000

    I keep getting errors with different formulas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!!
    Tanner

    1. Hello!
      I hope you carefully read the article above. If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:

      =IF(AND(A1>1,A1<50000000),6,IF(AND(A1>50000001,A1<100000000),7, IF(AND(A1>100000001,A1<500000000),8,0 )))
