  1. I have a very straightforward query. i have just 2 columns - Column (1) is having profit made in a deal , Column (2) shows the number of days the deal took. I want to create a new column (3) where formula has to be put showing Tax payable . The formula should show as below

    if no profit has been made then no tax
    if the deal took more than 365 days then tax of 10%
    if the deal took less than 365 days then tax of 15%

    I have tried If and functions but it just does not work. can someone help

      1. Hello Mr Alex, Thanks a lot it worked so well. I tried so many times but failed will try to learn more from the link. Thanks once again. If I have any more doubts will certainly get in touch with you Warm Regards

        1. Hi Alex, I have one more doubt regarding a large excel data sheet in which I would like to weed out the data. WHAT FORMULA TO USE is it V LOOK UP The scheme is as follows

          (1) Column A with date of trade (2) Column B with symbol of stock being bought/sold (3) Column C with Name of stock being bought/sold (4) Column D with name of client (5) Column E with Trade name ie buy or sell

          Now i want to remove all rows ie original and duplicate if the same client has bought and sold the same stock on the same day . It should leave behind only trades which are buys with no equivalent sale. I am giving below a short snippet of the table for better understanding

          1. Hi! I recommend reading this guide: How to find duplicate rows in Excel.
            If I understand your task correctly, our Duplicate Remover tool may help you solve it in a few clicks. It allows you to specify in which columns to search for duplicates, and then find and delete duplicate rows. This can be done in just a few clicks, without formulas or VBA code. It is available as a part of our Ultimate Suite for Excel that you can install in a trial mode and check how it works for free.

            1. okay sir thanks a ton

            1. THe alignment gets lost everytime i paste the table hence it has come twice

    2. THe tax of 10% has to be calculated on column (1) contingent that 365 days have lapsed or lesser days have lapsed and should show 0 if there is loss or zero profit
      i have tried multiple times if and function failed miserably

  2. So I have 2 columns with values that result in a final "grading" in a 3rd column.
    The first column, G, has one of the following 9 values: 0,1,2,3,4A,4B,4C,5,6
    The next Column, J, Has one of the following 3 values : "Benign/Negative", "Indeterminant/Atypical", "Malignant"
    Dependent on the G/J combinations my 3 possible resultant values are : "Needs Review", "Yes - Pathology and Imaging are concordant", "No - Pathology and Imaging are discordant"

    So when G=0 or 4B, or J="Indeterminant/Atypical", then "Needs Review"
    When J="Benign/Negative" AND G>04 then "Yes - Pathology and Imaging are concordant"
    If none of those conditions are met then "No - Pathology and Imaging are discordant"

    How do I write this as IF statement?
    Thank you for your help!!

    2. I apologize, part of the "AND" conditions did not make it in my question. The conditions are as follows:
      G=0 or 4B, or J="Indeterminant/Atypical", then "Needs Review"
      J="Benign/Negative" AND G>04 then "Yes - Pathology and Imaging are concordant"
      If none of those conditions are met then "No - Pathology and Imaging are discordant"

      1. J="Benign/Negative", and G>04, "Yes - Pathology and Imaging are concordant"

  3. Hello,

    I have three columns, column A for Status, column B for Reason, column C for Code.
    I need to return a reason, and there are three different ones to Column B, depending on one of the status (there are two different ones) and one of the codes (there are several codes).

    Thanks

    I'm not abe to get this one to work:
    =IF(AND(K2>=0; K2=10; K2=20; K2<=40); "20-40"K2)))
    Why?

      1. Hi Alexander,
        The formula you see is not right, I'll try to pase again:

        =IF(AND(K2>=0;K2=10;K2=20;K2<=40);"20-40"K2)))

        1. =IF(AND(K2>=0;K2=10;K2=20;K2<=40);"20-40"K2)))
          I'm not able to send the complete formula

          1. Hi,
            What I want is this:
            6,98 0-10

  5. Please help me to resolve the below logic in excel.

    If all 3 (A2.B2,C2) are green, only then overall status is green, if even 1 red then overall status is red, if all 3 amber, then overall status is red, for one or two ambers, overall status is amber

  6. if Column C1 is above 0 give me Overtime or 0 give No OT, if column C1 is S give me Sick, If column C1 X give me Absent, if Column C1 is -1 give me Late Hours

      1. If weight is 10Kgs then freight charges will be 300
        If weight is more than 10kgs, Then for every 1kg increase in weight, Freight charges would increase by 45Rs.
        Ex: 11Kg - 345Rs
        12Kg - 390Rs

  7. How to add 2 cells, for example, if in a cell i have done drop down option with pass satisfied fail, another cell also same , for pass value 10, satisfied 7, fail zero) i need to add using if statement

    1. Sorry, I do not fully understand the task.
      As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.

  8. Need help to create a formula. Formula in L415, IF (J415<45,K415*2,0). I need to add a condition that if the result is less than a certain quantity, zero should be displayed

  9. I need help with a formula please. I need it to be B10*4+D10+G10 but to also know that if F10=0 it should display the value of D10. Thank You

    1. I read some more articles and figured it out. Thank You
      =IF(F10>0, B10*4+D10+G10, IF(F10=0, D10))

  10. I have spreadsheets where several suppliers costs for products are in columns adjacent to each other. Each column has the supplier's name. There are many different products from lines 4 through to 100.I need the formula to choose the supplier with the lowest cost in new a column adjacent to these cost columns and to then also have a formula next to that lowest cost bringing in the name of that best cost supplier form the relevant column. My colleague uses the following for the best cost in for example column M. {=MIN(IF(G4:L40;G4:L4))} . When I copy this in a new spreadsheet it comes up as text and won't work and remains text. The formula for the best cost supplier he used =INDEX($G1:L1;MATCH)G4:L4;M4;0))
    Can you please assist to give me generic formulae which I can use in every spreadsheet to assist in doing the calculations speedily.

    1. Hi! When you copy an array formula, don't copy the parentheses. Enter =MIN(IF(G4:L40;G4:L4)). It needs to be entered via Ctrl + Shift + Enter, not just Enter. You can read more about array formulas and their usage here.

  11. Hi any help for this formula

    =IF(K8>5000,(200), - working
    =IF(K8<5000,K8*0.04)) - not working

  12. I need to calculate the figure with 3 conditions as follows by using IF function:

    IF % percentage achieved for a calculation between budget & actual figures is less than 100%, then figure is 0. however if achieved % is between 100%-170%, then take the achieved figure multiply by 10,000. Final condition, if % achieved is greater than 170%, then take 170% multiply by 10,000

    I am unable to add the 2nd condition of between 100%-170%, in the same formula

    Can you please help

  13. Amazing exercises for practice, thank you so much!

  14. Having difficulty with IF AND function need help

  16. Can you have a formula that shows if B1 is empty then show "To Load" if there is a date then "loaded", but if D1 has a date then show "Shipped" and if H1 has a date then shows "Arrived"

    1. =IF(B1="","To Load",IF(H1"","Arrived",IF(D1"","Shipped","Loaded")))

    2. I also need to know the formula for two column condition

  17. If the status of my data is INACTIVE, what formula can I use for it to automatically countdown 30 days?

  18. what is the formula to determine if a given row has more than one column with a positive integer? the top row below (from a pivot table) has 7 columns, 64 is the total for the row. 2 of the 5 columns have data, so would want this to be a Yes.
    the second row only has one entry, so would want this to be a No.
    EX:
    user name 17 47 64
    user name 2 2

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

      =SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(INT(A1:G1)=A1:G1,0)*(A1:G1>0))>1

      You can learn more about SUMPRODUCT function in Excel in this article on our blog.

  19. i have a column A with100 rows each having a unique value eg (XXX YYY) , I have another column B with say 50 unique values YYY, now I want to find column B value row by row from the 100 rows in Column A and if there is match , copy the value from column A in column C, next to value in column B
    I hope i am able to describe my requirement :-) Below one example, any help to get this would be highly appreciated thank you - vaibhav

  23. Hello, sir. What if I want the if condition to look value in multiple cells.

    Eg.

    =IF(A1=any value from the (B1,B2,B3), TRUE, FALSE)

    How can I achieve this?

  24. Hello, I'm really struggling with this. I think the function that I need to use is IF but I'can make it to work properly.

    I have 4 different categories [A] [B] [C] [D] and those categories can be scored as 1, 2 ,3. But one particular [D] category if the score is 1 I need to have more impact in the end. I was thinking in if score is 3 : 40%,40%,10%,10%, if score is 2 : 35%,35%,10%,20% and if score is 1 : 30%,30%,10%,30%.

    I came to
    =IF(E10="3","((E7-40%)+(E8-40%)+(E9-10%)+(e10-10%)/4)",IF(E10="2","((e7-35%)+(e8-35%)+(e9-10%)+(e10-20%)/4)",IF(E10="1","((e7-30%)+(e8-30%)+(e9-10%)+(e10-30%)/4)")))

    But is not working and this is driving me crazy,
    If you maybe help me I would be very grateful

    Thank you in advance,
    David Lopes

    1. Hi! The information you provided is not enough to understand your case and give you any advice, sorry. Explain your source data and the result you want to get.
      I can assume that your formula does not need quotation marks.

      =IF(E10=3,((E7-40%)+(E8-40%)+(E9-10%)+(E10-10%)/4),IF(E10=2,((E7-35%)+(E8-35%)+(E9-10%)+(E10-20%)/4),IF(E10=1,((E7-30%)+(E8-30%)+(E9-10%)+(E10-30%)/4))))

      1. Thank you so much that really help me, I don't know why I was using quotation marks... I was just looking at some tutorials and gave me the wrong idea. For my formula to work and give back a result between 1 and 3 I just add one more () and it worked just fine!

        like this:
        =IF(E10=3,(((E7-40%)+(E8-40%)+(E9-10%)+(E10-10%))/4),IF(E10=2,(((E7-35%)+(E8-35%)+(E9-10%)+(E10-20%))/4),IF(E10=1,(((E7-30%)+(E8-30%)+(E9-10%)+(E10-30%))/4))))

        Thank you so much!!!! You really solved my problem!!!

  25. Hell Alexander, I continue receiving error messages when attempting to write “IF” formula with multiple conditions

    =IF(AND(‘D7=”Kick-Off Training”, ‘M7>=DATEVALUE(“4/30/2023”), "0", "1")))

    Cell D7 value = required training title
    Cell M7 value = later than date hired (those hired Q2 or later)
    “0”, “1” = determines if counted in subtotal formula

    1. Read the manual above carefully and do not use unnecessary brackets and quotation marks.
      Check the formula below, it should work for you:

      =IF(AND(D7="Kick-Off Training", M7>=DATEVALUE("4/30/2023")), "0", "1")

      1. Alexander, thank you so much. That correction worked perfectly!

  26. Little Help in the following formula

    =IF(OR(A6="Equity",A6="MFs",F5>365*1),"LT","ST"),IF(OR(A6="Debt",A6="Sec-UL",F6>365*3),"LT","ST"), the result of which shows as "#value" instead of LT or ST as case may be, Plese help

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

      =IF(OR(OR(A6="Debt",A6="Sec-UL",F6>365*3),OR(A6="Equity",A6="MFs",F5>365*1)),"LT","ST")

      For more information, please read: Nested IF OR statements

      1. =IF(OR(OR(A6="Debt",A6="Sec-UL",F6>365*3),OR(A6="Equity",A6="MFs",F5>365*1)),"LT","ST"),

        PLEASE check once again, the result from the above formula always as "LT" instead of "ST", even if the days in some case less than 365 days.

        My original formula as later which had been modified by you as former one above

        =IF(OR(A6="Equity",A6="MFs",F5>365*1),"LT","ST"),IF(OR(A6="Debt",A6="Sec-UL",F6>365*3),"LT","ST"), the result of which shows as "#value" instead of LT or ST as case may be,

        1. The formula I suggested to you uses the conditions you described in your formula. If you have described them incorrectly, the formula will not work properly. Note that the OR function returns TRUE if at least one condition out of three is true. For example, if A6="Equity", it doesn't matter what number is written in F5 and F6.

      2. Thank you so much Sir. That correction worked perfectly

  27. Hi
    Trying to create a formula for 0.33 "Present" and blank cell (so no result) "Not evaluable".
    Any help appreciated!

  28. Worked on multiple IF functions with AND and OR and THEN but nothing is working.

    My issue:

    B14=9 then 100
    B14=6 then 350
    B14=1 then 500

    no matter what I've put in I keep getting errors.

    IF(OR(B14=9 THEN true_value 100 ELSE IF B14=6 THEN true_value 350 ELSE IF B14=1 THEN true_value 500)

    Please help.

    1. sorry that content rumbles and i cant paste screen shots

  30. Hello
    the content was really helpful and useful
    thanks a bunch

  31. Hi, am trying to create an expense sheet, so if a cell has a drop down with three values Needs, Wants and Savings and if I add Rs 200 to a cell and select option "need" from the drop down, Automatically value from my cell where percentage of total earnings which is allocated to needs must be subtracted.

    For example, My total earnings is 30K and from that I have allocated 30% to my needs which will be 10K , if I enter house rent = 5K and select "Needs" from drop down automatically the cell which has 10K should be 10k - 5K. This formula must be applied to atleast 10 rows so I can track my needs, wants and savings.

    I have derived with this formula =IF(J3="Needs",D33-H3,D33) where J3 is the drop down cell, D33 holds the 10K , H3 holds the 5K, but this formula works only for 1 cell , I want this formula to work on a range of cells say from H3 to H13.

    Kindly help on this formula

  32. Hello! I was hoping you could help.
    If A2 = Male and B2 = RTK then C2*15% If A2 = Female and B2 = RTK then C2*20% If A2 = Male and B2 = MDK then C2*25% If A2 = Female and B2 = MDK then C2*30% Else C2=0

    1. Hi! I can't guess at the logic of getting a result. Your question is not entirely clear, please specify.

  35. Hello. I'm trying to create this:
    IF E2=1 then the value is 400. But I want this for more numbers. But somehow I am unable to combine them.
    Endgoal:
    E2=1, then value 400...... =IF(E2=1;400;0)
    E2=2, then value 200...... =IF(E2=2;200;0)
    E2=3, then value 150...... =IF(E2=3;150;0)
    E2=4, then value 75........ =IF(E2=4;75;0)
    E2=5, then value 50........ =IF(E2=5;50;0)

    How should my formula look like?

    Kind regards,
    Tommy

      1. Hi Sir,
        I am trying to use below excell function but it doesnt works. Please help

        =IFS(D4=1,1.1,D4=2,1.1,D4=3,1.2,D4=4,1.3)

      2. Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately your formule doesn't work.
        "There's a problem with the formula''

        Not trying to type a formula?
        When the first character is an equal ("=") or minus ("-") sign, Excel thinks it's a formula:

        • you type: =1+1, cell shows: 2

        1. Hi! The formula I sent to you was created based on the description you provided in your first request.This formula has been tested and works with your data. Why are you telling me how to enter the formula correctly? You need it, not me. What delimiters do you use in your formulas - commas or semicolons? What is the value in cell E2?

          1. I've just copy pasted your formule, hoping it could work. Once copy pasting it, the text below have been directly copy pasted from Excel. Wasn't trying to be rude. I am really thankful for your help.
            I'm using semicolons. Currently is the value of E2 3.

            1. Hi! Replace the commas in the formula with semicolons. Use your regional settings in the formulas.

              =IFS(E2=1;400;E2=2;200;E2=3;150;E2=4;75;E2=5;50)

  37. Hello,

    I'm trying to create a formula that says "If cell D8 equals In Progress or Not Started AND cell G8 is earlier than today, then mark the field with either OVERDUE or NOT DUE". I have tried several different things and can't get it to work properly. Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    1. Hi! All the necessary information is in the article above. The formula might look like this:

      =IF(AND(OR(D8="In progress",D8="Not started"),G8<TODAY()),"overdue","")

  38. please help with the formula

    1. Hi! Please re-check the article above since it covers your task.
      If I understand correctly, here is an example formula:

      =IF(A2="Whisky",F2*8%,IF(F2="Gin",F2*6%,"No tax"))

  39. Hi! I need to add the results of a nested if together to give me a number to source for a further if query - I'm really struggling to get it work and I'm getting very frustrated!

    1. To ensure clear understanding of your task, can you provide an example of the source data and the desired result you are aiming for?

  40. I am asked to do this:
    "In column H find Discount. Where discount is 10% of the total Sales for Item Type “Clothes”
    and “Total Sales” greater than 500000. Otherwise, the discount is 0."
    what is the correct way to write the function?

  41. Im looking for a formula that will provide me with a result only if two conditions are met and are on the same line of the table

    From one spreadsheet i need to search another table made up of follows Column A - PO Number / Column B - Item No. & Column C - Value

    How can i make sure that the PO and Item No are the same in both tables before i can call in the value (Column C).

    In the data table, PO number and Item Numbers can be duplicated but only one line will contain the correct PO and Item number together.

  42. Hi!
    I have a question about the following formula:
    =IF(F2="MONTH";DATE(YEAR(C2);MONTH(C2)+D2;DAY(C2));IF(F2="";DATE(YEAR(C2)+D2;MONTH(C2);DAY(C2));IF(F2="YEAR";DATE(YEAR(C2)+D2;MONTH(C2);DAY(C2)))))

    What I am doing here is creating a date calculation from Starting date, so if the cell F2 contains MONTH as the unit, then add the number present in D2 to the MONTH (in the formula). If the F2 cell contains YEAR unit, then add number in D2 to the YEAR (in the formula). If the F2 cell does not contain any unit, assume it is YEAR and add the number from D2.

    Now I want to add an additional condition into the formula - if the Starting date (column C) is empty, how do I show the result as "0" instead of it just being #VALUE! error?

    Here is a quick example of the table I have:

    1 C D F
    2 empty 20 empty
    3 empty 20 YEAR
    4 2025-02-28 15 YEAR
    5 2022-03-24 1 MONTH

    Thank you for the help!

      1. Thank you!

  43. I am attempting to enter a formula =countif(f2:f99,P2) but I need an extra parameter (sorry if that’s the wrong term).

    I am doing a spreadsheet for people who are “housed and unhoused”. The formula above works perfectly but when the case is closed, I do not want to numbers counted in the calculation anymore. What can I add to no count those. It’s in column M as “yes or no”. Hopefully that’s enough information.

  44. Using if function find the prices of a product according to

  45. Hello,

    I have a tracker which is tracking and occasions when employee is added there. So if there is an issue and clerk insert his name into a tracker, occasion comes as 1. If he is added there next time, occasion comes as 2... but I need this occasion to be lowered when NFA- no further action is needed. We have a columns for - NFA - First Warning - Final Warning.

    How I can add another rule for occasions to be lowered if NFA is ticked?

    Thank you

    1. Hi! Based on your description, it is hard to completely understand your task. However, I’ll try to guess and offer you the following formula in cell B2:

      =IFERROR(MAXIFS($B$1:B1,$A$1:A1,A2),0)+(C2=FALSE)

  46. I have a column typed with three types of data. i want to use IF function as for any type then put the result. i know if i put my result in another table and use of VLOOKUP i can get the result but i want to know can i use the IF function is this situation or to better say can we use IF function for triple conditions in one cell?

    1. Hi! Please describe your problem in more detail. To understand what you want to do, give an example of the source data and the desired result.

  48. hi,

    I have data monthly wise with filled numbers , I want to get fast & slow function from monthly cells value if monthly value is 0 in any cell atleast then it is fast , if all the monthly values are 0 then it is slow

    1. Hi! I’m sorry but your description doesn’t give me a complete understanding of your task. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the formula below will help:

      =IF(PRODUCT(--(A1:A10=0))=1,"slow","fast")

      The condition in the IF function returns TRUE if all cells in the range are zero.

  49. Hello, here is my formula and I'd like to know when to use * with if formula below. Thank you in advance!!!

    IFERROR(INDEX('Raw Data'!$A$1:$A$839, SMALL(IF(($FO$39='Raw Data'!$F$1:$F$839)*($C$2='Raw Data'!$J$1:$J$839)*($C$3='Raw Data'!$C$1:$C$839),MATCH(ROW('Raw Data'!$A$1:$J$839), ROW('Raw Data'!$A$1:$J$839)), ""), ROWS($A$1:$A1)), COLUMNS($A$1)),"")), 1, 1)

  50. Thank you for this article, it was very informative.

    I did have a pertinent question about using IF and COUNTIF together with various outcomes and would appreciate your assistance.

    There are two columns of data being used in the formula.

    Time Origination RESULTS DESIRED
    7:40 am Las Vegas, NV 9:40 am
    11:15 am Chicago, IL 11:15 am
    1:00 pm Buffalo Grove, MI 12:00 pm
    3:00 pm Hayward, IN 2:00 pm

    I need a formula to return a modified "Time" for records where the Origination state is MI, IN or NV.
    The formula I have so far subtracts 1 hour from the MI or IN records, which is what I want. I need to expand on that formula to add 2 hours to the NV records. The formula criteria have to be wildcards.

    Formula so far:
    IF(OR(COUNTIF(H2,"*, IN*"),COUNTIF(H2,"*, MI*")),B2-TIME(1,0,0),B2)
    This works perfectly for the MI and IN records.

    I need to add this to the above formula:
    IF(COUNTIF(H2,"*, NV*"),B2+TIME(2,0,0),B2)

    Thank you for your help.
