  1. Hi, Can you please help me, in Excel if column A2 value= Column B value, then only compare column C value with column D value and provide result in column E.
    Example:

    1234 END 1234 CERIAL END
    1234 FORNT 1234 BACK FRONT
    1234 ARIAL 1234 GAME9 N/A
    1234 GAME 1234 GAME2 GAME2
    1234 GAME 6 1234 GAME8 N/A
    1234 GAME9 1234 GAME7 GAME9
    1234 GAME2 1234 FRONT N/A
    1234 GAME3 1234 CHANG N/A
    1234 GAME1 1234 END N/A

  2. Hi,

    I'm not sure if anyone can help with what I think should be a relative simple formula that I'm stuck on. I need to create and IF or an AND formula that will look at two arguments that both need to be be True, one argument is checking that a Date is =>2023,1,1 and another cell contains an exact text "Vacancy".

    I have managed to get the Date check to work, however I have no idea how to add the AND argument to check the text in the other cell, I currently have the following formula:

    =IF(A2>=DATE(2023,1,1),"Yes","No")

    The person should only be entitled to the payment if the Date is >=2023,1,1 and that the Role (text) in cell B2 is "Vacancy".

    Thank you for your help.

      1. Brilliant! Thank you so much for your help, this has worked perfectly. I could not work out where the AND should go. Thank you.

  3. How can i categorize the cell content based on the starting letter. (Example:- Different grade of fruits has code like a123, b123 etc., i want to categorize the fruits as "A grade" for the code that starts with "a".

    1. I have 3 options in source column instead of two so how should I do
      For example
      If IND2522 - it should reflect in colour as India
      If BNG2522 - it should be reflect as Bangladesh
      If PAK2522 - it should be reflect as Pakistan

      1. Hi! Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.

      1. Thank for your prompt response Mr. Alexander

        i have list of materials in row A which has two types of material codes one type starts with alphabet like "S123, S234 and so on" which is semi finished and another code was only numeric it was finished goods. In row D i need the codes which starts with alphabetic should name as "Semifinished" and numeric code as "Finished goods". i believe that i gave you the clarity to derive the formula.

        1. Hello!
          This formula returns TRUE if the first character is a letter.

          =ISERROR(--LEFT(A1,1))

          I hope this will help, otherwise don't hesitate to ask.

          1. Yes, it's working but it will be convenient if the formula returns to any name instead of TRUE or FALSE.

  4. Logical Text in A1 Cell ,TRUE Value in A2 and FALSE Value in A3
    i write IF Function in A4 = IF(A1,A2,A3)
    but it doesn't work properly. it will prompt Error Massage (#Value!)
    so can i put LOGICAL TEXT in cell.

  5. Hello. Please help provide the formula for a cell L23 to either show "N" if less than a certain date such as 02/15/2023 and "N" if passed that date in A23, thank you!

    1. Hi!
      Pay attention to the following paragraph of the article above: Excel IF statement with dates.
      It covers your case completely.

  6. Hey Friends,

    Donno if this Forum works now:

    I am trying to figure out a formula for the following:
    I have 3 Columns : viz : A1,D1, L1 with text contents. And output expected in M1

    So if All of the 3 cells A,D,L are Blank, Then out put should be "Spare",
    If any of the 3 cells mentions : "In Stock", Output should be "In Stock",
    If any of the 3 cells mentions : "Faulty", Output should be "Faulty",
    Else if any columns has any text it should show " Mapped"

    1. Hi!
      Combine cell values and search for the desired text using the SEARCH function. Use a nested IF function to display values based on conditions.
      Try this formula:

      =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("In Stock",A1&D1&L1)),"In Stock", IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Faulty",A1&D1&L1)),"Faulty", IF(A1&D1&L1="","Spare","Mapped")))

  7. i need to calculate the hours of the roster of the month of each staff (M=6.5, E=6.5 , N=8, O=0) please help

  8. Hi!
    I am trying to get my IF statement to take a current number, and if it is over 40, bring it down to 40. If it is under 40 I want to leave it at 40.

    I have attempted the formula =IF(E10>40, 40, E10) I just don't know what to put in the false statement, to keep it at the current value it was at if under 40.

    Thanks for the help!

      1. Thank you!

  9. Hi,

    =IF(B1=5 and C1=3, "Good combination", how i can use this formula

    Kindly confirm.

  10. I'm trying to create a formula to help build a table for a student outcome report.
    A B C D
    1 Comm 1010 Comm 2010 Comm 3000
    2 Communication 2 4
    3 Critical/Creative Thinking 5
    4 Community Awareness 3 4

    If any text in Column A=Communication and any text in Row 1= Comm 1010, then show the number for that combination. In this example, 2 would be displayed.

    If any text in Column A=Critical* and any text in Row 1=Comm 2010*, then show the number for that combination. In this example, 5 would be displayed. I need to be able to use a wildcard for both text options.

    If there is no number in the cell, then leave it blank.

    The numbers will be sent to a different sheet. Right now, I have to sort both sheets so everything lines up. I am hoping there is a formula that will pull over the numbers and I don't have to sort anything.

  11. Can you help? What is the correct IF formula for - Should Grunar continue to make the part or buy it from the supplier? #2 question below.

    Complete the schedule to support the decision of whether to make or buy the part.

  14. hi i want to create a formula =if(colum A:A=name of a product = colum B:B) is it posible?

    1. Hi!
      Please clarify your problem and provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.

  15. I have an xlookup (in 'Bill 1-9-23'!E2) is used to find a three letter code (AIHP or UCH) in col E of 'Client Roster', that works :
    =XLOOKUP('Bill 1-9-23'!A2,'Client Roster'!A:A,'Client Roster'!E:E,"")

    Then in 'Bill 1-9-23'!G2 I want to use an IF to determine if I found AIHP or UCH and make different results, so:
    =IF(E2="AIHP",500,350)

    It always returns 350 (FAILED), even when E2 is displaying AIHP.
    If I enter a number in Client Roster'!E2 and logically test against that, then it works.

    Thank you for yourhelp, in advance.

  16. I'm trying to work on a formula; say
    I type in the value 5857 in D12
    Then, if the value i typed has it's first three values matching the first three values of any cell in the range A2:A35 counting from the left, pick the corresponding value on the right

    So if the one I entered has its first three values counting from the left matching that of A14... Both values are matching 587, it will pick the corresponding value on B14 then add it to the cell C8

    i did something like this
    =IF(AND(LEFT(A18:A213,3)=LEFT(A2,3),RIGHT(A2,1)="0"),B18:B213+C8, IF(AND(LEFT(A18:A213,3)=LEFT(A2,3),RIGHT(A2,1)="1"),B18:B213+C8))

    and I'm getting
    #VALUE

    1. Hi!
      Your formula does not match the question. Therefore, your problem is difficult to understand. Note, however, that LEFT(A18:A213,3)=LEFT(A2,3) returns not a single value, but an array of 195 values.

  18. Hi Alex,
    I am trying to build an IF function that will select beneficiaries based on set of criteria. Below is the Formula I have used =IF(T35,IF(BD3="Yes",IF(BE3<=2,"Selected""Not Selected")))))))))))

    Kindly advise as the result of the function keeps coming out as "FALSE"

  19. Hi Alexander,
    I am attempting to streamline repetitive data entry by using Sheet 1 as a 'controlled data' sheet, where data can be identified and automatically transferred across to new worksheets/cells when data is being entered. I'd like the active cells to recognise various text codes such as EDT01, EDT02, EDT03,etc, and transfer selected information from various cells across to the same cell location in the new work sheet.

    In essence, when entering data for EDT01 into the new worksheet, columns C2, D2 and E2 will have the same specific size dimensions, therefore rather than continually typing in these dimensions for multiple entries, it would be beneficial to have the code EDT01 identified when typed and the size dimensions automatically filled into these specific columns.

    I'm struggling to explain this in any great detail but hope you get the gist of my problem.

    Thanks you in advance.

  20. Good work

  21. I'm trying to work on a formula to say if B22 is equal to 12 multiply the number in D22 by 2, and if B23 is equal 12 then multiply the number in D23 by 2. So on until B30. But if the numbers in B22 to B30 don't contain 12 leave the cell blank. I have the following formula which returns the result FALSE instead of blank.

    =IF((IF($B$22=12,$D$22*2,0)+IF($B$23=12,$D$23*2,0)+IF($B$24=12,$D$24*2,0)+IF($B$25=12,$D$25*2,0)+IF($B$26=12,$D$26*2,0)+IF($B$27=12,$D$27*2,0)+IF($B$28=12,$D$28*2,0)+IF($B$29=12,$D$29*2,0)+IF($B$30=12,$D$30*2,0)),"")

    Can you help on this?

  22. I need formula for condition
    if condition in J15 column is "returned" Than F15=0
    otherwise, it should remain same please make formula for this situation

  23. Hi,
    Need a help I have list of activity on cell B (72 activity) and in cell E (Planned date) and F (Actual date) how I'll get the data from cell B if if my actual date is blank and formula will get the data from activity what we have before the blank cell.

    1. Hi!
      Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional information to understand what you need.

  24. I have created a simple if then statement to check for text within a range.

    However, the statement is always returned "false" even when no data is present in the range of cells.

    If I remove the range & check only 1 cell at a time, the function works as expected.

    =IF((ISBLANK(H3:H500)), "THIS COMPANY MUST SHOW A PAID IN FULL INVOICE BEFORE SENDING STAMPED PLANS OF ANY SORT", "SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE SENT")

    2. I figured it out using "COUNTA"

      =IF(COUNTA(H3:H994)= 0, "THIS COMPANY MUST SHOW A PAID IN FULL INVOICE BEFORE SENDING STAMPED PLANS OF ANY SORT", "SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE SENT")

      This works!

  25. Goodmorning all, i am trying to create an if formula that can generate a letter code for a given amperage. =IF(I9=380,"P",IF(I9=300,"O",IF(I9=290,"N",IF(I9=230,"M",IF(I9=200,"L",IF(I9=180,"K",IF(I9=150,"J",IF(I9=130,"I",IF(I9=120,"ZZ",IF(I9=100,"H",IF(I9=90,"G",IF(I9=80,"F",IF(I9=70,"E",IF(I9=60,"D",IF(I9=40,"C",IF(I9=30,"B",IF(I9=20,"A",IF(I9=10,"A","NOPE")))))))))))))))))) this is working great but now i want to use that answer from that if statement to reference another cell with A corresponding letter for the wire size answer. is there a formula that can refence a that letter and match it to the given answers on another column?

        the idea was to use if statements to generate a letter code based on amperage and a sub code based on phases, with the above formula i was able to convert the codes into indirectly referencing the wire size text in another cell. Works like a charm.

  26. Hi
    I want to have information on a spreadsheet that displays everything but when you change an option that i have created lists for it displays in the corresponding worksheet also.

    So I want a list of all computers and their details, on separate tabs below will be named faulty, operational, sent to maintenance etc.

    I've created a list on the All sheet with a drop down box but when I select an option I want it to also display the entire row of data to the sheet with the same name.

    I just don't know how to formulate it sorry could you please advise

    If G# (between R3 - 300) = set value (Operational, Faulty, Sent for repair) copy row from column B:AU "tab All" to "Tab ###"

    Hope this makes sense

    Thanks in advance
    Rob

      1. Hi Alex,

        Thank you for the quick reply, sorry this was an extremely poor way to explain my issue

        I'll try and explain it better,

        I'm trying to use a spreadsheet to keep track of data on near 300 pieces of equipment with each piece having 50+ columns of information on. I've used data validation to create lists on certain columns to have fixed data inputs available. on sheet 1 I have all the information but what I'd like is to be able to create extra sheets with the same names as that on the Lists and as someone changes the value in the dropdown list then it copies automatically to sheet with the corresponding name.

        i want it to be the entire row of information though.

        the manual way to do this is to filter the search to the set value copy and paste across, I just wonder if there was an automatic way to do it with a
        protected worksheet so when different people update it I doesn't mess with the formula and I don't have to come and do an audit regularly to make sure it has been transferred over properly

        hope this makes more sense

        Thank you

        Robert

  27. Hi, I am trying to create an IF formula.
    I am trying to find a way to build an IF formula like that: If you see a date, tell me what is the date, and if you don't, tell me the previous date.
    So I am trying to create this formula in the B row. In the C row there are dates and cities.
    Short exemple: C2=Apr/19, C3=NY, C4=Miami, C5=Apr/20
    I want B2,B3,B4 to tell me Apr/19 and B5 to tell me Apr 20.

  28. Greetings Alex,

    I have an inquiry and would appreciate your expertise, if time permits.

    I'm trying to formulate a rule that if a value resides in a defined row, for example A1, B1, C1, D1, then mark/color that specific value throughout the rest of the Excel sheet.

    For example:
    A1, B1, C1, D1 - mark any value in this row Blue
    A2, B2, C2, D2 - mark any value in this row Red
    B3, C3, D3 - mark any value in this row Green

    However, it also needs to be Top Down Authoritative, where if a value exists in a preceding row, for example Row 1 (A1, B1, C1, D1), that value is ignored for being marked/colored in the proceeding rows.

    Is this possible with an IF function?

  29. Hello, I would like your advice.
    How would I write a formula that displays a specific value in one cell, if the value in another cell matches.

    I am trying to make the raw data received from a survey more palatable. So I have a survey question that (for examples asks you to choose your favorite color from list of 13 colors. I want to use a formula that I can place in cell C1 that displays the value in B4 if the value in A1 is 4, but I want that for all the values.

    The logic is as follows: IF A=1 "display B1" AND IF A=2 "display B2" AND IF A=3 "display B3" (.....and so on and so forth)

    Thank you in advance!

      1. Hello, Thank you this is exactly what i need!
        Is there a way to use the CHOOSE function (or VLOOKUP or INDEX or MATCH) to display a value if the index cell has multiple values separated by commas?

        For example: Cell A1 has the values 1, 4, 5 in that cell. but I would still like for the logic to operate as follows: IF A=1 "display B1" AND IF A=2 "display B2" AND IF A=3 "display B3" (.....and so on and so forth)

        1. Hello!
          If I understand correctly, to extract the first number from a text string, use the LEFT function.

          =CHOOSE(--LEFT(A1, SEARCH(",", A1)-1),B1,B2,B3,B4,B5,B6,B7,B8,B9,B10)

  30. Hi!
    I use the IF function to normalize some data and give a number between 0 and 5. I have multiple IF functions of different data groups. I would like to make an average of the results from the IF functions, but I get an #DIV/0! error. I use the AVERAGE function. I believe the problem is that the result of the IF function is not in a number format, but I cannot figure out how to change it. Can you help?

  31. If A1=7 and B1=35
    then I want to this answer C1=0 and D1=5
    please help me

    1. Hi!
      All the necessary information is in the article above. Please note that each cell must have its own formula.

  32. Hi,
    Is there an option to publish value of the cell instead of the cell name in If condition.
    The formula is
    =IF(F9>0, "F9", IF(E9>0, "E9", IF(D9>0,"D9", IF(C9>0, "C9"))))
    Here I want to return the values of cells c9/d9/e9/f9 respectively. Thanks!

  33. hi alex!, how are you, hope your doing fine, i have problem on my simple IF condition, i want to display the actual time upon updating a transaction but every rows that i updated it will give me the same time result. I've used the below condition and i hope you can share to me the correct formula.

    =If(A1"",now(),"")

    1. Hi!
      If I understand correctly, you want to get an unchangeable timestamp.
      To prevent your date from automatically changing, you can use several methods:
      1. Use Shortcuts to insert the current date and time
      2. Use the recommendations from this article in our blog.
      3. Replace the date and time returned by the TODAY function with their values. Copy the date (CTRL + C), then paste only the values using Paste Special or Shortcut CTRL + ALT + V.

    2. =If(A1"",now(),"") (not equal to blank)

  34. Hi. How do I format my IF formula to return a numerical value instead of text? I need to sum all the values that are generated from my IF formula, but because the formula returns the values as "text" and not a "number" I cannot use my sum formula. Please advise. Thank you.

  35. Hello!
    I read some articles but still cant find my answer. I want to kind of like create a data base for C where we have "example1,example2,example3 etc."
    when example1 is written in C add number 15 in L
    when example3 is written n C add number 30 in L
    Is there a way I can do that? Thank you for your time!

  36. I have data in column F and data in column U, with dates in column S. I'm trying to have the date in column S copy to another cell on another workbook, if exact matches are found for columns F and U on the same row.

  37. I am trying to have an excel report something as below for "Overall Status" for each username (e.,g User1). I would like to create condition to track the overall status in which even if one of the Status is "Not Completed", mark it as "Not Completed" for each username grouped (e.,g User1). Appreciate if you could provide some inputs on this.

    UserName App Status Overall Status
    User1 App1 Completed Not Completed
    User1 App2 Not Completed
    User1 App3 Completed
    User1 App4 Not Completed
    User1 App5 Completed
    User2 App1 Completed Not Completed
    User2 App2 Completed
    User2 App3 Not Completed
    User2 App4 Completed
    User3 App1 Completed Completed
    User3 App2 Completed

  38. I am trying to use IF, AND, INT functions to go about answering the question:

    ; I free sweet for every dozen after the first 2 dozens. I can calculate ,say for 36 but what about for 48, 60. What should the formula be in the same cell please?

  39. Hello - the nested IF and other topics above appear to be insufficient in what should otherwise be a fairly straightforward process. I am simply trying to nest multiple IF statements with multiple conditions (though technically not necessary) to add qualitative descriptors/labels based on the z-score in another column. I can manage this basic process in R but need to use an Excel spreadsheet for this current task. I have tried several versions, beginning with the simplest form, and continue to confront error messages, with the below syntax being the most recent attempt:

    =IF(AND(H6>=2.00, H6=1.34, H6=0.68, H6=-0.67, H6=-1.33, H6=-2.25, H6=-2.32, H6=-2.49, H6=-2.60, H6<-2.49), “Severely Impaired”, IF(H6<-2.60, “Profoundly Impaired”, “UNK”))))))))))

    Any assistance would be appreciated. If there is an easier route, that is fine as well.

    1. Hi!
      The formula is written incorrectly. Also, the conditions in the AND function cannot be met at the same time. I recommend reading the manual - IF AND in Excel: nested formula, multiple statements.

      =IF(AND(H6>=2,H6=1.34,H6=0.68,H6=-0.67,H6=-1.33,H6=-2.25,H6=-2.32,H6=-2.49,H6=-2.6,H6<-2.49),"Severely Impaired",IF(H6<-2.6,"Profoundly Impaired","UNK")) I can assume that you need to use an IF OR expression. Read: Excel IF OR statement with formula examples.

    2. For some reason, the syntax did not post properly (excluded commands). I shall try again here:

      =IF(AND(H6>=2.00, H6=1.34, H6=0.68, H6=-0.67, H6=-1.33, H6=-2.25, H6=-2.32, H6=-2.49, H6=-2.60, H6<-2.49), “Severely Impaired”, IF(H6<-2.60, “Profoundly Impaired”, “UNK”))))))))))

      1. I give up. It excludes my IF(AND() commands and several "LABELS" upon posting. The post itself is nonsensical. I would check your code.

  40. If K9 has the value, {"date_of_birth":"11/08/1995",category":"bank","last_name":"Singh","first_name":"Digant"} and want to only display the the value of date of birth in another cell, how do I do that?

  41. Hi, Hope you are fine, I have some lengthy records in excel, some columns value depend on previous column values, for example if A1 has a value no problem quiet it, if A1 was empty go to H1 column, How to do this in excel,Please.

    Kind regard.

    1. Hi!
      I kindly ask you to have a closer look at the article above. Your question is not very clear, but the formula could be something like this:

      =IF(A1<>"",A1,H1)

  42. Hello Alexander,
    I am trying to copy some data from one workbook (sheet 1) to another (Sheet 2).
    My situation is as follows-
    I want IF formula to check cell X1 in Sheet 1 and if it is >0, then
    copy cell Sheet 1(B1,C1, D1 and E1) to Sheet 2(A1,B1, C1 and D1)

    Else, Simply skip to another row and check the cell X2 and so on and so forth until it has checked all cells in the Column X

    1. Hi!
      An Excel formula can only change the value in one cell in which it is written. Create a separate IF formula for each cell. How to create a reference to another worksheet, read this guide.

  43. NO. Start Date End Date Total Days (Free Day) Chargeable Days (1 up to 3 Days) (4 up to 6 Days) (7 up to 9 Days) (10 Days) (11 Days)
    1 01-Mar-22 12-Mar-22 12 1 11 880 USD 3300USD 4400USD 5500 5500

    how calculate all days in one cell (Total Charges Days Fees)
    If we 2 wheel of Wagon:
    (1 up to 3 Days) 400 USD = 880$,
    (4 up to 6 Days) 1200 USD with 25% = 1500$
    (7 up to 9 Days) 1600 USD with 25% = 2000$
    (10 Days) 2000 USD with 25% = 2500$
    (11 Days) 2000 USD with 25% = 2500$
    (12 Days) 2000 USD with 25% = 2500$
    12 Days Total = 8900$

    If we 4 wheel of Wagon:
    (1 up to 3 Days) 880 USD = 880$,
    (4 up to 6 Days) 2640 USD with 25% = 3300$
    (7 up to 9 Days) 3520 USD with 25% = 4400$
    (10 Days) 4400 USD with 25% = 5500$
    (11 Days) 4400 USD with 25% = 5500$
    (12 Days) 4400 USD with 25% = 5500$
    12 Days Total = 19580$

    My question and problem?
    - When I select 2 wheels with Dum tract then adding 25% if we select 4 Wheels with Taxi not adding 25%

  44. Hi,

    Can you see what I have done wrong with this formula, the first IF for single works, but Double and Unequal Double keep showing 0 as the answer?

    =IF(E10="Single",1,IF(E10="Double",2,IF(E10="Unequal Double",2,)))

      1. Hi sorry I should have said that E10 is a drop down box, the formula works if I select another cell and manually enter the works

  45. Hi, I have a very bizarre issue with the IF function. I am trying to return two different texts alternatively based on two pairs of criteria from two different cells. In clear, I have 3 columns H, AN and AO.

    So, if, say, H30 is blank and AN30 is also blank, then I want AO30 to return "Open".
    Then, if H30 has a date and AN30 is blank, then I want AO30 to return "Ongoing".
    Then, if H30 has a date and AN30 also has a date, then I want AO30 to return "Closed".

    Anyone can help, pleaseÉ

  46. I have been trying to create a formula using IF_OR to return if an exam score (across 3 exams) is equivalent to a status (Y) if the score of one of the exams is >=70.
    However, a student may have earned a grade of E (Excused) due to policies in place because of COVID.

    If any one of the 3 exam scores is >=70, Y should be returned, even if there is an E in one or 2 of the other exams.
    If the cells have one, 2, or 3 E's, the 3 cells are blank, or have a combination of E's and grades less than 70, the resulting status should be "N".

    The formula I have written for the STATUS column (Illustration below) is =IF(OR(L2>=70,M2>=70,N2>=70),"Y","N")

    Problem is...If all cells are blank, it returns N (Correctly).
    If I place ANYTHING into any or all of the cells (numeric grade, E, or any other text), Y is returned.

    Here is a visual:
    Row Column K Column L Column M Column N
    1 STATUS Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam 3
    2 E
    3 75 E
    4 E 79 47
    5 61 72 E
    6
    7 E E E

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Hello!
      Use the ISNUMBER function to check if a cell contains a number.

      =IF(OR(AND(ISNUMBER(L2),L2>=70), AND(ISNUMBER(M2),M2>=70), AND(ISNUMBER(N2),N2>=70)),"Y","N")

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

      1. Fantastic!

        That solved it!

        Thank you so much!

  47. Hello,
    Well done Sir!
    I have a little challenge, I am using Window 16 version computer,
    I am working on student's scores of ten students who sat for Test 1. The grading scale was given as below.
    80-100=D1
    75-79=D2
    70-74=C3
    60-69=C4
    55-59=C5
    50-54=C6
    45-49=P7
    40-44=P8
    00-39=F9
    This is the formula I have applied to workout the solution
    =IF(B2>=80,"D1",IF(B2>=75,"D2",IF(B2>=70,"C3",IF(B2>=60,"C4",IF(B2>=55,"C5",IF(B2>=50,"C6",IF(B2>=45,"P7",IF(B2>=40,"P8","P9") I closed nine brackets. But result failed to reach arguments needed.
    What could have been my mistake.

    1. Hello!
      Please try the following formula:

      =IF(B2>=80,"D1",IF(B2>=75,"D2", IF(B2>=70,"C3",IF(B2>=60,"C4", IF(B2>=55,"C5",IF(B2>=50,"C6", IF(B2>=45,"P7",IF(B2>=40,"P8","P9"))))))))

  48. Hello!

    I need a formula that compares text from column 1 and 2, then outputs text in column 3.

    For example, column 1 I can select text from a list (text="High, Medium, or Low"), I can do the same in column 2. In column 3 I need it to output text="". If the values were Low and High then output would be Medium, low and low would output low, etc.

    Can you help?

  49. I would like the results of a formula to be TRUE if the value in cell A1 is the same as the value in cell B1, and FALSE if the values are different.

    What character or characters should be entered in the blank space below to give the desired formula?

    A1 ____ B1
