Hi,
I need your help. I am trying to create a formula to compare two columns - column A & B. If Column A is greater than Column B, then I'd like the cell in column A to be highlighted. I've tried to create the formula using conditional formatting, rules, "IF" and I've made no progress. Does it matter that the values in column B are the result of a formula? Help!?

Hi
I got an excel sheet that contains data of soil moisture content (h), Field Capacity (hfc) permanent wilting point (hpwp) and evapotranspiration (ETp)
in order to calculate actual evapotranspiration (ETa), the following condition has to be build in excel
ETa = ETp when h ≥ hFC
ETa = ETp * ( h-hWP / hFC - hWP ) when hWP< h < hFC
Et = 0 when h ≤ hWP
Thank you

HI,
I'm trying to create a formula to ask(if a1=1 & b1=2 return the contents of b16. Please help.
Thank You
Hi Frank,
Here you go: =IF(AND(A1=1, B1=2), B16, "")
Thank You Svetlana for the swift reply.
I have 10 variables in cell A1 and 3 variables in cell B1.
How do I include any variation of them in cell B16.
The 10 & 3 variables are already in a drop down list
The formula in your reply works well for a single variation.
Thank You again

Hi
how to used formula in excel two coluam for greater than but not equal to
Good Day Ma'am,
I am trying to get a cell to produce 60 if a "material code" entered in one cell is CS and checks against the thickness of the material. So if the thickness is greater than 0.034, or less than 0.135, or equal to 0.5 and the "material code" is CS the cell gives me a 60. However I also have another cell that will check the "material code" for CS and the thickness of the material to be less than 0.034, to produce 48. The problem is if I have 0.03 in the thickness cell I get a 48 and a 60. Do you have any ideas to go about this? Thank you for your time and help.
Sincerely,
Andrew Edwards
Hi Andrew,
For us to be able to help you better, can you post the current formula you are using?
i was trying to compare the data in the particular cell, I used 'if' calculate the out come.
i.e If the value in cell is greater than or equal to '4' the result should be '30' in display cell, else (any character or letter or 0 in cell) it should be '0'
I tried this, =IF (A1>=4,"30", "0") it is working out for numeric value but when any letter or any special character is fed to the comparison cell it gives out "30" as results.
would you help to explain, why it is working out so?

Hi Sara,
Try this one:
=IF(SUM((B16/12)*(C16/12))<3,3,SUM((B16/12)*(C16/12)))
Hi, very interesting thread thank you.
Just wondering how would I show the cell value instead if true/false. Currently I have =IF(F15<40,)
But i have 4 different categories I have 0 to 39, 40 to 56 ect...I want to say if the value is less than 39 show cell value if not show 0.
Thanks in advance!
Can you help me with this. Date that less than 60 days write as "LESS" more than 60 days write as "MORE". Thanks
Can you please give me a formula for depending on which date is greater than another. 180 days will be added to the greater than date. Thanks!
Hi James,
You can use a formula similar to this:
=IF(A1>B1, A1+180, B1+180)
Where A1 and B2 are the dates to compare.
I just want to rounded up to next 10 but will remain neasest integer if the unit place is 0.As for example: 187.6.1 will 190 and 120.3 will 120.
Hi Puspen,
Try this one:

if a number in a1 is greater than b1 can this put a 1 in a2?
likewise if b1 is greater than a1 can this put a 1 in b2 and if a1 and b1 are the same can this put a 1 in c2?
if the above is possible can the same result for c1 & d1 and e1 and f1 etc all put a 1+1+1 etc in a2, b2 or c2 depending on whether greater, lower or equal
Hello, Svetlana, on June 9th, you answered my question (thank you) about text ("test") being tested ("=A1>0") positive as greater than zero. However, I just found that COUNTIF(A1:B1, ">0") doesn't think "test" is greater than zero. Microsoft is making things very confusing.
Hi, I would like to sum of all values like A9=B9 (for example, CL2840 is a string which added in cell A9 and I would say that value added in cell B9 = 10), CL2840 or CL 2840 would be repeated in couple of cells of the sheet and I would like to add all values which available in adjacent cells. Can you please help me ? :) Thanks You!

Hi thanks for the article. Very clear and informative, as always.
I recently experienced a curious problem related to the operators. Assume that I have the following cells:
In A1 I have the formula =TODAY()
In B1 I have an alphanumerical string, say QWRSTY-11. The last two numbers represent the calendar week
In C1 I have the following formula
=IF(ISOWEEKNUM(A1)<RIGHT(B1,2),"X","0")
Since today is June 14, 2016 and the week number is 24, the formula should return "0". Instead, it returns "X".
To double check my formulas, in D1 I entered the following:
=ISOWEEKNUM(A1)-RIGHT(B1,2)
This formula returns "13", which is correct!!
I will be grateful if you could help me understand what's going on here. Thanks

Hello, thanks for the great article.
I have a simple question. I have the word "test" in A1 and the formula "=A1>0" in B1. B1 shows "TRUE". How can "test" be greater than zero? I would expect some kind of error message instead of "TRUE".
Hi John,
In Excel any text including an empty string ("") has a higher value than any number. To return an error message for text values and blanks, you can use a formula similar to this:
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(A1), A1>0), TRUE, IF(ISTEXT(A1), "error: text", IF(ISBLANK(A1), "error: blank")))

Hi, I need help on a formula :
Cell A1 is a drop-down list with "Apple", "Orange", "Carrot".
Cell B1 is a vlookup on item in Cell A1 with value for "Apple" = 200, "Orange" = 300 and "Carrot" = 400.
Cell C1 is the quantity to order.
Cell D1 is a vlookup on the minimum amount that we need to pay to the vendor for each type of goods with "Apple" = 2000, "Orange" = 2500 and "Carrot" = 3500. (If order amount is less then the minimum amount, we would have to pay the minumum amount).
Cell E1 - Would like to have a formula to calculate the amount that we need to be paid after selecting the item in A1 and input the quantity in C1.
Thank you.
Edit: I should have mentioned also my text is being generated through a data validation list.
Hello I'm after some help on a solving a problem driving me crazy:
Basically I would like to increase days in a date (e.g. 1/6/16) based on text in other cells then reset/override the original 'if' statement if need be.
For example
Cell E5 = 1/6/16, I now select text in cell F5 "add 20" the date is now 21/6/16
Cell E5 = 21/6/16, I now select text in cell G5 "reset back to original date" and basically want the date to reset back to the 1/6/16
Is this possible ?

Hi I need solution for this in a single formula :
when value is less than or equal to 50 it gives result zero
when value is between 50 to 70 it multiplies with 4 & when value is more than 70 or more it multiples with 3
50 = 0
50-70 = 58*4
70 plus = 110 * 3
