Hi Svetlana
I want to group golf scores into birdies, pars, bogeys and double bogeys. I have my golf scores in cells c4 - u4 and the course par for each hole is in c3 - u3
eg hole 1 (c4) my score is 4 and par (c3) is 4 so I need a IF formula for cell k20 which is to add up all my pars for the round (18holes)
If I scored 6 pars (6 times where my score in row 4 will equal the par for that hole in row 3)
I want to do the same to record birdies (score is 1 less than par), bogeys (score 1 more than par), dbl bogeys (score 2 more than par) etc
using different cells
All the details of number of birdies, pars, bogeys and dbl bogeys will be using the data contained in cell ranges c4 - u4 and c3 - u3.
Hope you can help

Hello,
I'm using the following formula:
=IF(OR($J34="CM",$J34="PDC"),$M34,0)
In the cell it show #name?. What is wrong with the formula.
Regards,
Jercon
Hi Jercon,
The problem is in smart quotes (”CM” and ”PDC”), which is often the case when copy/pasting formulas. Just retype the quotes directly in the formula bar, and your formula will start working properly.

hi, can someone help me with this formula? I am making an if/or furmula showing that if the service years>3 or is a college graduate the column will be a yes. (only one condition needs to be met) I have:
=IF(OR([@[College Graduate]]="Yes")([@[Service Years]]>3,"Yes","No")
thanks.
Hi Jordan,
The correct syntax of the IF/OR formula is this:
=IF(OR(condition 1, condition 2), value_if_true, value_if_false)
In your case:
=IF(OR([@[College Graduate]]="Yes", [@[Service Years]]>3),"Yes","No")
How decimal numbers can be compared?
=IF(A1>2.34,"A","B")
If A1=2.21, it shows B
