  2. Im trying to have a column in excel that uses 2 equations based off of a word that is placed in another column .

    for example if J5 says Suburban i want the equation in N5 to be M5*9/100 and show the answer to the equation but if J5 doesn't say this and says Mercedes i want the equation to be M5*11/100 and show the answer.

    Also how do you copy to function down the column so it is using the right line number.

    I thought that I had it but its not giving me the totals

    Thank you!

  3. Thank you so much it is working now

  4. In the above formula "OP" condtion is working fine...But in the "IP" when i enter in the cell 4 ,then it is showing "OUTSIDE".

    Please support to solve this

  5. Thank you so much...i will check

    If Cell G2 contain text ,then how we can solve

      1. This is working fine

  6. And with this i also need to add one more condition....if G2 cell not cotain number then will show "blank"

      1. In this formula "OP" condtion is working fine...But in "IP" when i enter 4 ,it is showing "OUTSIDE".

        As per my codtion it should only when i enter 5

  8. Hello,

    I have to IF/Then statement of

    =IF(DH53=DI53,"matches", "doesn't match")

    Cell DH53 = 0.00 and DI= 0.00

    For some reason it's returning a Doesn't Match result but it does match. I have multiple that return back the Matches results but a few that return back the doesn't match result even though the two cells do match. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried reformatting all the cells so they are all the same format but nothing seems to change. Why would the IF/Then statement return back a false result if it is in fact true

    Thanks so much for your help!

    1. Hello!
      Unfortunately, without seeing your data it is difficult to give you any advice. 1. Perhaps one of the values is written as text. 2. If these values are calculated by formulas, then they may differ in decimal places. For example, 0.0002 and 0.000008. In the cell, you will see 0.00. I recommend using the ROUND function in this case.

  9. I have a problem please help I'm very new to this, sorry.
    I want to show the result only if the full operation is done for example.
    K15 =C15*E15+F15 otherwise 0

  10. Hi!

    I'm looking for some help in using an IF statement to perform a math operation, I can’t seem to get it right:

    I have:
    Column A: Firm (either A, B, C, D or E)
    Column B: Measure (either sales, price, or promotional price)
    Column C: Product (a lot, but coded as numbers)
    Column D-FB: Value of measure per week (155 weeks in total)

    I want a cell to return: ((sales 1 * price 1) + (sales 2 * price 2)) / (sales 1 + sales 2)

    Where:
    Sales 1: sales of firm A for product 1
    Price 1: price of product 1 of firm A
    Sales 2: sales of firm A for product 2
    Price 2: price of product 2 of firm A

    Thus, firm is always A, but measure and product differ. Then, I would autofill the cell to the right (from column D to FB to create a new row). I would like to do the same for promotional price.

    I hope I explained it well enough and any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

      1. Thank you for your quick reply!

        For example:

        A1: Firm (header)
        A2: A
        A3: A
        A4: A
        A5: A

        B1: Measure (header)
        B2: Sales
        B3: Sales
        B4: Price
        B5: Price

        C1: Product (header)
        C2: 1
        C3: 1
        C4: 2
        C5: 2

        D1: Week 1 (header)
        D2: 1,670
        D3: 9,813
        D4: 1.42
        D5: 1.83

        E1: Week 2 (header)
        F1: Week 3 (header)
        etc.

        =IF((D2+D3);((D2*D4)+(D3*D5))/(D2+D3);0) results in 1.77

        This 1.77 is then the new combined price of product 1 and 2 for firm A for week 1.

        In this example, I’ve already filtered on the right firm, measure, and product, but I would like to make a function where I would only have to type in the firm and product and not manually select them as I’m doing now. So for D2 * D4 for example, only multiply cells if one cell is sales of product 1 for firm A and the other is price of product 1 for firm A.

        I hope this makes sense, thank you in advance!

        1. Hello!
          I’m not sure I got you right. If your criteria are firm, measure, and product, then you can find the desired cell in column D using the INDEX + MATCH function, as described in the article "Excel INDEX MATCH with multiple criteria".
          The criteria for cell D2 are "A", "Sales", 1. For D4, "A", "Price", 1. And so on.
          I hope it’ll be helpful.

          1. Yes, I've managed to create the formula with the use of index and match! Thank you very much for your help!

  11. Hi there! I'm looking for assistance with an IF Function.

    I'm looking to create a formula that produces a value IF the value falls between a set of dates.

    For example -

    Date - 05/01/2021
    Value - 600

    Start Date 1 - 01/01/2021
    End Date 1 - 30/01/2021

    Start Date 2 - 01/02/2021
    End Date 2 - 28/02/2021

    The formula should return only 600 as it falls in between Start and End Date 1. Ideally I'd want it to be able to calculate the total value from a List i.e.

    I.e. list of Dates from A5:A55, return value if between Start and End Date 1, Return 0 Value if not between Start and End Date 1

    Hope that makes sense?

  12. I need a formulas for if the cell has a Y then this other cell will enter $25.00 if not it is $0. Please help me. Thank you .

      1. Thank you. It worked!

  13. =If(A2=0,"Closed",(IF(istext(AA2),"Closed","Active"),(IF(AA2=Cancel,"Canceled",AA2=OnHold, "OnHold")))

    My formula will not work. It works when I only put
    =If(A2=0,"Closed",(IF(istext(AA2),"Closed","Active")
    Or
    =IF(AA2=Cancel,"Canceled",AA2=OnHold, "OnHold")
    But I need them together to show the status of the reports if they were to fo on hold or be canceled.

    Any help would be appreciated

  14. Hi there, im trying to put together IF function formula and im struggling.

    It goes something like this,

    =IF(D41="Something1", "$1.000",
    IF(D41="something2", "$1.400",
    IF(D41="something3", "$1.000",
    IF(D41="something4", "$1.000",
    IF(D41="something5", "$1.800",
    IF(D41="something6", "$1.000",
    IF(D41="something7", "$1.400",
    IF(D41="something8", "$1.300",
    IF(D41="something9", "$1.000",)))))))))

    IS this even possible ? how many IFs is possible this way?
    This would really help me .

  18. cool site. Thanks for showing us.

  19. I have got a range of TEXT acronyms in a separate sheet. I am using the following formula to assign a value to rows when they have a corresponding value in a column of the separate sheet.

    =IF(COUNTIFS('sheet1'!B:B;"*"&B2&"*")>0;"category1";IF(COUNTIFS('sheet1'!A:A;"*"&B2&"*")>0;"category2";IF(COUNTIFS('sheet1'!C:C;"*"&B2&"*")>0;"category3";"category4")))

    The formula works most of the times except when a cell contains but a value of one of the category even if not pertaining to it.

    To better explain myself: I have got a value which is "AU" which pertains to category4, but the results for it is category1 because, the latter contains a a value that is "JAU".

    How can I made the formula to include all the text, thus making AU displayed as a category4?
    Thank you in advance.

    1. Hello!
      It is not clear from your explanation whether cell B2 and column Sheet1!B:B must match exactly, or B2 must be contained within any value in the column.
      Perhaps instead of “*”&B2&”*” in the formula, you need to write B2. Then the error you described will not be.

      1. Thank you!

        Cell B2 has a text value to be checked if present in Sheet1!B:B. Hence, B2 must be contained within any value in the column.

        If I use B2 instead of “*”&B2&”*” the result for every column is category4. Is that because the value in B2 is a TEXT?

        1. Hi,
          Again, you didn't say - do you want an exact match of values or a partial match? Your first formula calculated overlapping values. Give an example of the raw values you are comparing. Check for extra spaces in your values.
          Without seeing your data it is difficult to give you any advice. Please provide me with an example of the source data and the expected result.

          1. Thank you Alexander,
            I want the exact match of values.

            I have got a column containing codes such as:
            Codes:
            AF
            BR
            BW
            AU
            JAU

            In another sheet I have got 3 different columns which orders the above mentioned codes by categories:

            Category 1 Category 2 Category 3
            AF BR JAU
            BW

            Hovewer, there are some codes which are not included in the categories.
            Such as AU.

            The formula I created checks if some cells in the categories list contains the values of the codes column.

            However this does consider also consider partial values inside the cells i.e. "AU" is categorized as Category 3 - as in category 3 there is a value "JAU".
            How do I rewrite the formula to make it take into account the whole value of the cell and this making AU (which does not belong to any of the three category list) be categorized as a 4 category (which is "not pertaining to any category")

            Thank you in advance

            1. Hello!
              If you need an exact match between values, then you need to use the formula that I already recommended to you.
              If the AF code does not match the AF category, then these values have extra spaces or non-printable characters. Compare these cells using the "=" operator to check.

  20. Really good site,thank so much for your effort in writing the posts.

  42. Hi Svetlana

    I'm trying to build a spreadsheet to progressively record a players best scores on each of 18 golf holes, over four rounds of golf.

    So on day one they will have a score on each of 18 holes. Their total for the 18 holes will be shown at the end.

    On each successive day, if they have a better score on one or more of those holes, then the score for those holes will change, along with their total for 18 holes.

    So as an example:

    Day 1

    HOLE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

    SCORE 2 2 3 2 0 2 3 3 0 2 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 0 29

    Day 2

    HOLE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

    SCORE 2 2 3 3 0 2 3 3 0 2 2 1 2 2 4 1 1 0 33

    On day two, they had a better score on holes 4, 11 and 15, so their overall total increased by 4 to 33.

    This would be repeated on days 3 and 4 and changes made depending on their scores for each individual hole.

    The objective is to determine the players best scores on each of 18 holes, over 4 rounds.

    I would appreciate any help you can give so that I can build my Excel spreadsheet.

    kind regards

    Dave

  43. Hello,
    I've been trying to figure this out, in the worksheet given to me as an assignment, the question is to use the if statement to recruit workers that have applied but the must be SLIM AND FEMALE and I have no idea on how to come up with a formula for that considering the fact that there are 2 conditions(slim and female)

  44. Going out on a limb & praying I get some help. It is more a 2 part issue and as a result I tried to break it apart. Thanks in advance if anyone does help out. If not, I completely understand.

    Overview: We have to record the absences at my job. When the agents call in we obtain some basic information. It is a voicemail inbox though. So sometimes it is extremely hard to understand things. The managers continue to add things they want us to track. With larger numbers of staff it has just become a nightmare.

    Issue 1:
    When the agents call in we obtain some basic information and send it out to our managers/supervisors/QA team. What I was trying to determine is if there was some way to take the data I have on an alternate spreadsheet, and make it so that when I enter the agent's phone number it will populate the basic data for us? Essentially, we have a field for last name, first name, supervisor, their reason for missing, shift start time, department, and site.

    What I have been working on for weeks was a table that actually contains the data I want to be pulled in when the phone number is entered. I've added some extra fields that would allow for alternate phone numbers and things like that. So if the agent ever uses a phone number not in the system we could just add it to their "profile" & increase the chances of the automatic entry. I was also going to build a list of generic reasons that contain no details. Just because that is yet another thing the managers & clients both want. Totals of each reason.

    My big question is: is this even possible? Making it so that when 1 thing of text is entered into a cell - the other data populates automatically?

    Issue 2: The main manager wanted a running total at the top of the page. I used =COUNTIF in order to make that operational. However, the client requests a more detailed breakdown. They basically want a total for each start time + what department they are. So for example, I'd have 20 for 7:45 - 2 are Claims / 1 is a Team Lead. 12 for 8:00 - 3 chat + 4 dual skilled etc. etc. etc.

    I was trying to figure a way to where as the call outs were entered in - the formula would automatically be totaling everything.

    Another thing that may be useful with this 2nd issue.... The last sentence basically explains why I felt that way:

    Our manager wanted a total at the top of the spreadsheet. I would often forget to tally it up. So I used =COUNTIF and.... Yeah... I'm not an expert. So I just added an extra row and I put the "bitcoin B" symbol in that row. Thus it only counts that symbol. When a new day starts I just delete the "B" out of that row. I also have a row called "Filter". They want us to keep all of the past data but want the column headers in the email. The easiest way for me was to just put an X in this "Filter" column for todays call outs. When tomorrow rolls around I just delete the X out, filter to show only the "X" (removing blank fields). And repeat daily. So it keeps all the past call outs (We average 20k per year) out of way. ----

    Reasoning mentioned above & possibly the only useful part of that ramble: I didn't know if having the unique symbol already active would help with the counting process since the range it is counting will be changing on a daily basis. I thought maybe the "B" symbol would help identify what needs to be counted.

    Very likely all of this is impossible and that is why no one else has done it already and I am just an idiot?

    1. Hello!
      As you enter text in a cell, other data can be automatically filled in using the VLOOKUP or INDEX + MATCH function.
      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.

  45. Hi Svetlana,

    I have a range of cells across a sheet (24 rows x 27 columns).

    => First Column is Cycle (rows 1 to 24 )

    =>Last column(27th) is "Total Days" which is summation of columns "Days" having values ( 29 or 30 or 31 or 32 or 33 ) resulting to "Total Days" 364 or 365 or 366 for the year, which are derived as difference between two columns having dates. eg Col B2 = (17/03/2020) ; Col C2 = (16/04/2020) ; Col D2 = 30. Where D2 = C2-B2.

    =>In the sheet ,after "Cycle", Next two columns are having "Months" and third is "Days", but the subsequent columns after this are "Months" and "Days". Month cells are custom formatted as mmm-yy like:

    Cycle | Mar-20 | Apr-20 | Days | May-20 | Days | Jun-19 | Days | Jul-19 | Days | Aug-19 | Days | Sep-19 | Days | Oct-19 | Days | Nov-19 | Days | Dec-19 | Days | Jan-20 | Days | Feb-20 | Days | Mar-20 | Days | Total Days

    =>Each Month cell below is a linked formula to next date of the column Month cell across the range such that for Months, the formula is to avoid dates from a range of public holidays and Sundays between cells C33 and C103 which are maintained in col C64 onwards.
    eg.
    I2 cell formula is
    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+1),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+1),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+2),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+2),(IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+3),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+3),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+4),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+4),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+5),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+5),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((G25+6),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(G25+6),"More than 6 days")))))))

    I3 Cell Formula is
    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+1),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+1),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+2),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+2),(IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+3),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+3),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+4),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+4),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+5),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+5),IF(ISERROR(MATCH((I2+6),$C$33:$C$103,0)),(I2+6),"More than 6 days")))))))

    =>The whole idea is to match the difference between dates across the sheet to fit in (364 or 365 or 366) total days and Col "Days" between (28 to 32) such that each cycle average number of days is maintained close to 30.

    =>What formula can be set to fill dates in particular cell C33 onwards to achieve the above?

    Thanks and regards,
    Dev.

  46. Can i do such a formula: If value in column A has the letters CC at the beginning, then delete the CC?

    1. Hi,
      Using a formula, you can display the value in another cell and remove extra characters:

      =IF(LEFT(A1,2)="CC",REPLACE(A1,1,2,""),A1)

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

      1. Thank you so much Alex.
        Now how do i add to this formula that the last 3 letters should be removed as well?
        For example: if i have a list of the following
        CCGDR3M-1#1.
        CCG5M-05#2.
        CCGD34GM-11#5.
        and i want to remove the CC at the beginning and the #1. or the #2. or the #5. at the end (Note: i want to remove the . as well)

  47. How do I change a colum with (NO) to read (0) while Colum with (YES) to read (1),Column with (NOT RANGED) to read (-)

  48. Hi,

    I'm stuck with the following problem.

    I'm trying to work out loss and gain on a starting number so my formula is -

    =IF(C2<D2, "GAIN", "LOSS") and so on...

    However, It will always show "LOSS" in the cell when cell D2 is blank. I only want it to show LOSS if a number has been inputted in both cells. Would anyone know what I need to change for this?

  49. would it be possible to have two formulas in one cell

  50. how do i write a formula for
    if a value on a cell is less than or equal 3.99sf on a particular column it should always show and calculate as 4sf on my h column

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

    =IF(A1<4,4,A1)

    I hope this will help, otherwise please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

    Hi
    Thank you for your response, it does work but i have assigned different formula already on cell, how can i apply your formula on an entire column, i tried this method and it doesnt work, by the way im doing all this on google sheet.

    1. Hello!
      I wrote this formula based on the description you provided in your original comment. Explain what is not working. If you want to write 2 formulas in a cell, then this is not possible.
