Hello Everyone,
Trying to figure out how to show the value from a cell when doing IF.OR function.
Here is my function (not working):
=IF($P$14="";"";IF(OR($P14="PALLET";"$H14";"$L14"))
The function should show empty if empty, but show the value of cell "H14" if P14=Pallet, while if different, show the value of cell "L14".
Thank to all for the help.

I am stumped, I am trying to tie 3 columns together with column 1 having a drop down menu. I need to be able to use the first column to select a city and the following 2 columns auto-populate with amounts.

No Anthony that is not even a correct formula.

I have a table with 5 columns, which each column has there own percentage of evaluation for example 25%-25%-25%-10%-15%.
I want to create a formula that to look on each cell for each column the number and if it does't find number to take the percentage of that column and spread it to the other columns.
25% 25% 25% 10% 15%
1.00 0.73 0.45
In this case it has to take the 25% and the 10% and spread it to the other columns and do the calculations again from the start so I will get the correct number.
If I was going to do it by hand I will do the 35%/3 which 11.67% and add it on each column with data and then take the original data and multiply them with the result of the summary -
0% 36.67% 36.67% 0% 26.67%
Who can give a help with this?
Is there a way to automatically move a row to sheet 2 if a specific cell contained text?
Cell that would contain a date or be blank is G2. If it contained text I'd want to move a2:h2 to sheet2. On sheet2 it would not need to be in any specific place.
I have two worksheet. i.e,Worksheet A and worksheet B. A11 of Worksheet A contains FR189X and B6 of Worksheet B is FR189. Likewise I have multiple rows in Worksheet B. I want to compare A11 of Worksheet A with column B of Worksheet B, if its equal then copy the value present on column F of Worksheet B into Worksheet A.
I am using below codes and its working when A11 is same with B6.
=IF(LEFT(A11,5)=[Book1.xlsx]Sheet1!$B$6,VLOOKUP(LEFT(A11,5),[Book1.xlsx]Sheet1!$B:$S,18,0),"")
But its not working when I want to replace A11 of Worksheet A with B7 of Worksheet B. Can you please help?
Hi,
I'm trying to write a formula to say that if cell F4 says 'yes', to then remove the fill colour from cell E4. I am having trouble doing this. Can anyone do this? Thanks in advance :)
You don't need a formula - look at Conditional Formatting>Highlight Cell Rules

I have a spread sheet that I'm needing to move names and other info from one sheet to another. On one sheet I have a list of players. They're not all there on the same days so I'm wanting to be able to place an "x" in the column by their name and have their names moved over to the score sheet in the name cell. The name cells are not directly below each other so I'm trying to get it to enter the names in the next empty cell as the players names are moved to the score sheet.
Thanks for any help in this

So I have a problem. I have a spreadsheet where I am tracking two dates. I have equipment sitting on the floor. I am tracking actual time on the floor from arrival to today's date. =DATEDIF(B2,M2,"d") . I have two columns marked Sales Order Entered and the other as Shipped. Both have an X in the column when completed. My question is can I freeze the Actual Date when the material is shipped to Customer?
EXAMPLE: Column E is "SO Entered". (E2) with an "X"
to show completion. Column F is SHIPPED (F2) with an "X" to show item has shipped. I would like column L to show the actual time on the floor at the time of shipping. Currently showing Time on Floor as a continuous difference between the arrival date "B2" and the current date "M2".
=IF(TODAY()>10/31/2018,(AVERAGE(D15:H15)),"")
How can I ask excel to average cells only if a date has past?
Can we apply multiple logical test in IF function?
Hello Chrissa,
Of course, you can. Depending on your needs you will need a nested IF formula or IF with OR/AND statements or a combination of the above types.
Hi
Thank you for your valuable time and information.
I would like to develop a formula in which I get the follow-up date automatically. For example, if I write "Voicemail" then Next column automatically capture the date after 7 days.
So if I select "Left" the column automatically capture the date of next action

I'm looking for a way to have the result of an IF be an equation, or rather the value to an equation. Anything I put inside the "" is taken literally and therefore I cannot enter an equation.
For example, if the value in cell K11 is "yes" then the value in L11 should be the sum of I8+J6-J11.
This is the actual formula I'm working on:
=IF((AND(K11="yes", I8>=0)), "sum(J6+K6+K7+K8+J14-J11)", IF((AND(K11="yes", I8<0)), SUM(J14+J6+K6+K7+K8+I8), "0"))
So I figured out my mistake, but now Excel is telling me I have too many arguments for this function. But I need to address all of these possible scenarios.
Here's the new formula I have:
=IF((AND(K11="yes", I8>=0)), SUM(J6+K6+K7+K8+J14-J11), IF((AND(K11="yes", I8<0)), SUM(J14+J6+K6+K7+K8+I8-J11)),if((or(k11="NO",L6<=0)), "$0.00"))
Is there a way to simplify that Excel with accept, or do I need to find another way, like using two cells and separating my outcomes?
Thanks!
I have drop down list contains week numbers 1-54 and another two cells contain (week start date) and (week end date), how to show the week start and week end dates once I select the week Number in the first cell.
(Week start dates listed in column A1:A54 as well as Week end dates list in Column B1:B54)
HOW CAN I HAVE A FORMULA FOR THIS1. If cell (E260) is less than 20, times it by 2,
if it is greater than or equal to 20 but less than 40, then times it by 3
if it is greater than or equal to 40 and less than 60, then times it by 4
And if it is greater than or equal to 60, then times it by 6.
I CANT SEEM TO ENCODE THE BUT AND AND FUNCTION
Hello,
Please try the formula below:
=IF(E260<20, E260*2, IF(E260<40, E260*3, IF(E260<60, E260*4, IF(E260>=60, E260*6))))
You can learn more about Excel Nested IF in Excel in this article on our blog.
Hope you'll find this information helpful.

I need to calculate a formula based on a Y or N in an adjacent cell.
E2=A2*B2*C2*((IF(D2="Y",$H$3,IF(D2="N",$H$2)))
D2 is a yes or no dropdown list.
H2 includes a default factor.
H3 includes an optional factor.
E2=A2*B2*C2*$H$2 or E2=A2*B2*C2*$H$3 depending on the selection in D2.
The value in H2 and H3 will be changing.
If in the cell in column I there is a date, then the cell in column J needs to be one week later.
ie.
J10 = 9/18/2018 then K10 needs to = 9/25/2018
This has to be simpler than I am making it, help appreciated.
Chelsea:
If cells J10 and K10 are formatted as Date, then the formula in K10 should read:
=J10+7

Does anyone know how I would write a formula for this ? Gas Price Effect—The direction of the price of gas is a value from the Inputs section. If the price is expected to decrease, the effect is minus 5 percent (in other words, unit sales will decline by 5 percent in the year). If the price is expected to increase, the effect is plus 5 percent (unit sales will increase by 5 percent in the year). If prices are expected to be stable, there is no effect. Gasoline inputs are in cell B13 , D- decrease, U-increase, S- Stable. Units sold are in cells B31, and B32.

I want some formulae for calculating my taxes. The scenario is as below:
First 3,300 is taxed at 0%
Next 800 is taxed at 25%
Next 2.100 is at 30%
Balance is taxed at 35%.
The works it works is:
Gross Pay 6,000.00
Calculation of PAYE
First 3,300.00 0% -
Next 800.00 25% 200.00
Next 2,100.00 30% 630.00
Balance (200.00) 37.50% (75.00)
755.00
It is not supposed to give a negative and if it is positive, the actual is supposed to reflect.
Thanks
i am wanting to create a formula for a large set of data where i am want to colour colde each cell that deviates from the figures in the 1st column like this

I'm trying to create formula where certain items are due at specific times over several days. I need the date to change once it turns over midnight. I'm assuming this is an IF THEN formula, but i can't seem to make it happen. Any ideas?
how create formula for if sr no 01 get 1500 ,2 for 1000 and 3 for 500
Shashikanta:
You'll need to enter different text if the value in SR isn't 1,2 or 3, but the formula is:
=IF(SR=1,1500,IF(SR=2,1000,IF(SR=3,500,"Something Else")))
where 1,2,or 3 is entered into SR.
I have 2 sheet, in first sheet I need to mention "A" or "P" on the basis of 2nd sheet where cell value is in time format HH:MM
Please help to get t=it donee
Chona:
Because you have just five ranges to check, I think this will work. Where the value to check is in C29
=IF(C29<49,0,IF(C29<59,"2%",IF(C29<74,"3%",IF(C29<89,"4%",IF(C29<=100,"5%")))))
You can enter this formula in D29 and copy it down the column if you need to check values in C30, C31, etc.
Thanks a lot, its working fine.

Hi i am lookin to use the function below but it isnt working.
=IF(B2 = I2,"YES","NO")
Basically both cells contain text,
So for example B2 would read "Dispatched" and I2 would read "Delivered" and the forumla would return the word YES
If B2 would read "Dispatched" and I2 also would read "Dispatched" then the cell would return NO
Its basically to see if the status of the booking has changed overnight and would be filtered to yer or no?
Thank you for any advise or help?

Any help would be appreciated. I cannot figure out how to make this work.
If C5 = Y and D5 = Y then E5 = L. If C5 = N and D5 = N then E5 = H. If C5 = Y and D5 = N then E5 = M. If C5 = N and D5 = Y then E5 = M.
Thanks in advance
Logically, I want an excel function to check the value of week number and return the text string from one of Quarter1, Quarter2, Quarter3, Quarter4.
For this, I'm trying to IF function to return the text string.
The formula that I have used is -
(Note-A3 holds the value of week number.)
=IF(A3=13=25=37,"Q4","Please Check"))))
The IF function works fine for week number values less than 13.
However, for values 13 and above, it returns the text string Please Check.
Kindly help diagnose the problem. And propose if any other function can be used to achieve the same result in a simplified way!
Samrat:
I'm not sure what you're looking for, but it might be this.
=IF(A3=13,"Q1",IF(A3=25,"Q2",IF(A3=37,"Q3",IF(A3=56,"Q4","Please Check"))))
A3 will have to hold these numbers for the Q value to be displayed otherwise the cell will display "Please Check".
