I have a value for the row. I want to know if a value (column G) = the min or the max for a range of values, else it is between (mid). the range is also listed in the same row (columns H and I).
I have the following formula:
=IF(G2=H2,"Min",(IF(G2=I2,"Max","Mid")))
All I get is FALSE. and for all possibilities,
when G2=H2
when G2=I2
when G2H2 nor I2
I am not sure why this isn't working.
I made sure the columns G, H and I are numbers, but that doesn't impact things. I am not getting a syntax error.
Thanks
Hi!
I'm trying to get a formula (either an IF function or Conditional Formatting function) to help me assign the proper Customer Name &/or Customer # to an invoice in the proper row, but it's difficult because there are numerous invoices for some customers and a few for others.

Customer # Customer Name Invoice #

NEED HELP PLEASE
I have 2 columns one has a number of calls (G) and number of seconds in the second (H). I want to have the next column to show which calls were over 18 secs and also to include the total number of calls from (G) in that cell. So if one cell in G shows 2 how would I make the IF command work. I am using right now =IF(H2>18,1*1,1*0) and that just allows me to count how many cells are over 18 secs but not the actual call amount from column G.
Thanks,
Pete
Hello,
I have a problem and I can't find a solution anywhere.
I have a sheet with dates of invoices that have been approved for different hospitals and things we need to pay them for. It's a very long sheet with main variants being 'Hospital number', 'Procedure' and 'Date of invoice approval'.
I would like to create a seperate tab with a table generating a formula which could cross check 'Hospital number', 'Procedure' and 'Date of invoice approval' from the other tab - but instead of generating a result in form of 'good' or 'bad' i would like the formula to enter the actual date of invoice approval -into the table. Not sure if this is possible?
Please help!!!???
Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way to make a cell a specific color depending on a value it has. The values come from a formula (VLOOKUP). If excel doesn't find any values then it leaves the cell blank, otherwise it writes the value which can be anything from letters to numbers (so I can't be that specific and therefore not be able to use conditional formating...). I want to color all cells which get a value and leave the blank cells white. Would you know how to tackle this issue?
Thanks!
Hi,
I am looking for a formula to add 21 days to a date if a certain phrase is in another column. For example - A2 is 01/08/2016, if B2 says 'PA1' I would like C2 to add 21 days to the date in A1. I have so far got =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("PA1",B2)),"A2+21","") which works as far as getting C2 filled with an answer but I can't make the sum "A2+21" work as a formula - can anyone help?
Thanks
Sorry - Just read back - should read, A2 is 01/08/2016, if B2 says 'PA1' I would like C2 to add 21 days to the date in A2
Hi,
This is a formula for 2 energy use efficiencies one for gaining weight, one for weight loss. Obviously I have the syntax wrong, but I can't work out what the error is. I would be really grateful if you could help me.

thank you for help
I believe I need to combine an IF function and a SUMIF function...but not 100% sure (all I know is it is not working). I was able to do a SUMIF formula to have it add up invoice dollar amounts if the vendor equaled a certain name. That is great for a total amount owed; however, what I am having issues with is when giving it a criteria, like if the invoice date is =< 12/31/15, then add up only those invoices that are before that date and that are from a certain vendor. I am trying to enter this formula into a summary table...so this would help a lot!
Hi Svetlana,
Hope you can help me on this tough one and thank you in advance for any help you can give.
So I have created an Excel spreadsheet which I'm tracking snow removal times that happen during the winter so I can charge my customers. Row 1, I have the times that have been summed up. Row 2 where I a value that been calculated from Row 1 to get number of times 15 mins fits in it (For example, a cell in Row 1 would show 1:20 minutes and I divide that by 15 minutes which should give me a value of 8. Now here's the problem, I been trying to use the "IF" function in Row 2 to perform a function say if the time in Row 1 is less than 15 minutes than the value should be 0 or if it's 15 or more than I divide that by 15.
Any suggestion what I could do? Thank you in advance for any help you can give!

Hi Gary,
I believe this formula does what you need:
=IF(A$1*1440>=15, A$1*1440/15, 0)
Very Excel illiterate...please help if you can! I have been using this formula (which I did not create) to calculate data for vacation, sick time, personal days, etc. on our time sheets:
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("v",J9:AN9)),IF(ISNUMBER(J9:AN9),J9:AN9,(LEFT(J9:AN9,IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(".",J9:AN9)),3,1)))*1),0))+SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("v",AC8:AN8)),IF(ISNUMBER(AC8:AN8),AC8:AN8,LEFT(AC8:AN8,IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(".",AC8:AN8)),3,1)))*1),0)-AB6
Example:
Cell J9 - 1.50v
Cell K9 - 1.50v
Formulated cell returns the correct value of 3.
The problem is when numbers with 2 decimal places (other than '0') are used:
1.25v plus 1.25v returns a value of 2.4
I'm thinking it has something to do with using the letter 'v', in this case...maybe I'm wrong!
I've tried to format the cell different ways but I've had no success.
Sure hope you can help! Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to do an IF function where Excel would return:
1 when the cell has Monday in it
2 when the cell has Tuesday in it
3 when the cell has Wednesday in it, and so on.
The cell that has the weekday (Monday) in it has a formula =A3 where the cell A3 would be a date. For example, A3 = 13/7/2016, B3 has a function =A3 (formatted to return 'Wednesday'), C3 would have an IF function returning '3'.
How do get this IF function to work?
can someone help me how to compute
if A5 is equal and not less than to 7083 then compute for (A5-7083)*.20 + 354.17. or if A5 is equal or not less than to 10,000 then compute for (A5-10,000)-.25+937.50
I don't understand your question 354.17 "or" if A5...
should be "And"?
Try this:
=IF(AND(A5>=7083,A5=10000,(A5-10000)-0.25+937.5,))
Can someone help me please?
I need a formula showing the following:
=IF(B10>=50,"50",IF(B10<=51,"SUM(B10+B13)"))
If the field B10 is greater than 50, then it should be 50, if the field B10 is less than 50, then it should be the sum of B10 + B13.
But with the way the formula is written, if B10 is less then 50, then it showings SUM(B10+B13) in the field instead of the sum of B10 plus B13.
You can change:
=IF(B10>=50,"50",IF(B10<=51,SUM(B10+B13)))

Hi,
I have a problem where I have to write if function in Excel VBA as follows:
Module1 = Cells(j, 80).Value
Module2 = Cells(j, 81).Value
Module29 = Cells(j, 108).Value
Module30 = Cells(j, 109).Value
If Module1 = "A" Then
Cells(i, 9) = Module1
End If
If Module1 = "B" Then
Cells(i, 9) = "Good”
End If
If Module2 = "A" Then
Cells(i, 10) = Module1
End If
If Module2 = "B" Then
Cells(i, 10) = "Good”
End If
I have to input 30 times from Module1 to Module30.
I have changed Module1 to “Module” & k (k for next loop is added).
It does not work.
Module1 not equal to “Module” & k
Amended
For k = 1 To 30
If "Module" & k = "A" Then
Cells(i, k + 8) = "Module" & k
End If
If "Module" & k = "B" Then
Cells(i, k + 8) = "Good”
End If
Next
Can I use this method in “If” fuction? How to solve?
Many thanks.

I'm trying to get the cell to return a blank if it finds the referenced cell also blank:
=IF(F3"CodeList",LEN(D3),IF(F3="CodeList","0",IF(ISBLANK(F3),AZ3,BZ3)))
=IF(F3"CodeList",LEN(D3),IF(F3="CodeList","0",IF(ISBLANK(F3),"","")))
I tried it both ways, using known blank cells that will always be blank (AZ and BZ), and also using "". It performed the first two in the formula, but always returns a "0" if the cell is blank.
Also took off the [value_if_false] at the end of the formula to mirror what I was seeing in here, but didn't work either. Always getting a "0" when = CodeList or is blank.
HOW DO I FORMULATE IF THE "VALUE_IF_TRUE" IS A COMBINATION OF 2 WORDS FROM DIFFERENT CELLS.
=IF(C49="2",I47&" "&D8,IF(C49="1"," "," "))
THE I47&" "&D8 SHOULD BE WHAT IS WRITTEN IN CELL I47 AND CELL D8

Hi,
I am interested to set a formula to process student's marks.
If (A1-B1)or (B1-A1)is less than 17, D1 is (A1+B1)/2
But If (A1-B1)or (B1-A1)is more than or equal to 17, D1 will be average of C1 and either A1 or B1 which is closer to C1.
Thanks in advance
