Hi Koung,
Please use the following formula:
=IF(G5=13, "1600", IF(G5=20, "1700", IF(G5=25, "2400", IF(G5=40, "12000", IF(G5=50, "22000", IF(G5=80, "30000", IF(G5=100, "41000", IF(G5=150, "145000", IF(G5=200, "322000")))))))))
Can someone help me with this ...
=IF(FIND(" (",D2),LEFT(D2,(FIND(" (",D2)-1)),E2)
The True condition (finding a "(" in the string works) in row 2 but the False fails with a "#VALUE!" error in row 3
D2 contains "Lafayette, LA (LFT)" and E2 contains "LA (LFT)" ... result should contain "Lafayette, LA" - it does!
D3 contains "Neurnberg, Germany" and E2 contains "Germany" ... result should contain "Germany" - it fails!
Thanks.
Hi Suds,
You should use the following formula:
=IF(NOT(ISERROR(FIND(" (",D3))),LEFT(D3,(FIND(" (",D3)-1)),E3)
hi
Is there anyway to merge all this together in one field?
If A1 is blank = Jack
If A1 is not blank, and B1 is blank, and C1 is blank, and D1 is blank = Jill
If A1 is not blank, and B1 is blank and D1 is blank = Sunny
If A1 is not blank, and B1 is blank, and D1 is not blank, and E1 is not blank = Sunny
If A1 is not blank and E1 is blank and B1 is not blank = Cookie
If A1 is blank, B1 is not blank and D1 is not blank and E1 is blank = Mike
If A1 is not blank and B1 is not blank, and C1 is not blank = Mike
This is what I have but there is two problem. One i'm not able to add the last statement in and the second the results just shows up false. Any guidance would be appreciated.
=IF(ISBLANK(A1),"Jack", IF(AND(ISBLANK(B1), ISBLANK(C1), ISBLANK(D1)), "Jill", IF(AND(ISBLANK(B1), ISBLANK(D1)), "Sunny", IF(ISBLANK(B1), "Sunny", IF(ISBLANK(E1), "cookie", IF(AND(ISBLANK(A1), ISBLANK(E1)),"Mike"))))))
Oops my mistake. All my E1 are actually C1. Sorry.
So here it is again.
1. If A1 is blank = Jack
IF(ISBLANK(A1),"Jack",
2. If A1 is not blank, and B1 is blank, and C1 is blank, and D1 is blank = Jill
IF(AND(ISBLANK(B1), ISBLANK(C1), ISBLANK(D1)), "Jill",
3. If A1 is not blank, and B1 is blank and D1 is blank = Sunny
IF(AND(ISBLANK(B1), ISBLANK(D1)), "Sunny",
4. If A1 is not blank, and B1 is blank, and D1 is not blank, and E1 is not blank = Sunny
IF(ISBLANK(B1), "Sunny",
5. If A1 is not blank and C1 is blank and B1 is not blank = Cookie
IF(ISBLANK(C1), "cookie",
6. If A1 is blank, B1 is not blank and D1 is not blank and C1 is blank = Mike
IF(AND(ISBLANK(A1), ISBLANK(C1)),"Mike",
7. If A1 is not blank and B1 is not blank, and C1 is not blank = Mike
???
Current code i'm stuck on without statement 7
IF(ISBLANK(A1),"Jack", IF(AND(ISBLANK(B1), ISBLANK(C1), ISBLANK(D1)), "Jill", IF(AND(ISBLANK(B1), ISBLANK(D1)), "Sunny", IF(ISBLANK(B1), "Sunny", IF(ISBLANK(C1), "cookie", IF(AND(ISBLANK(A1), ISBLANK(C1)),"Mike"))))))
Hi TinWin,
Please use the following formula:
=IF(ISBLANK(A1), "Jack", IF(AND(ISBLANK(B1), ISBLANK(C1), ISBLANK(D1)), "Jill", IF(AND(ISBLANK(B1), ISBLANK(D1)), "Sunny", IF(AND(ISBLANK(B1), NOT(ISBLANK(D1)), NOT(ISBLANK(E1))), "Sunny", IF(AND(ISBLANK(E1), NOT(ISBLANK(B1))), "Cookie", IF(AND(NOT(ISBLANK(B1)), NOT(ISBLANK(D1)), ISBLANK(E1)), "Mike", "Mike"))))))
Hi,
If anyone can help?
I am trying to use if function to show the text "probable" is ok. It is a very simple formula but I am completely baffled that "probable" comes as a false value when it should be a true value. Anyone have a solution to this? Results below with formula;
certain ok =IF(B3="certain","ok","not ok")
probable not ok =IF(B4="probable","ok","not ok")
possible ok =IF(B5="possible","ok","not ok")
probable not ok =IF(B6="probable","ok","not ok")
red ok =IF(B7="red","ok","not ok")
chair ok =IF(B8="chair","ok","not ok")
laptop ok =IF(B9="laptop","ok","not ok")
maybe ok =IF(B10="maybe","ok","not ok")
probability ok =IF(B11="probability","ok","not ok")
probable not ok =IF(B12="probable","ok","not ok")
Why is "probable" seen as false(not ok)?
Looked everywhere can't find a solution
Hi Mohammed,
It seems you have spaces in your cells. Please try to trim the cell value before comparing.
=IF(TRIM(B4)="probable","ok","not ok")

Hi Taufiq,
Here you go:
=IF(A2>B2, 1, IF(A2<B2, 2, 0))
Dear Taufiq,
Put your values in A2 & B2 , PASTE this formula in C2.
this formula can be make shorther but for your understanding i have used 3 formulas
=IF(A2>B2,1,IF(A2<B2,2,IF(A2=B2,0)))

Hi,
Is there an 'If Statement' formula for a pie chart that will say ...

Hi,
I would like to create a formula for a spreadsheet.
If D4 = 1, then F4 = $15
If D4 = 2, then F4 = $20
If D4 = 3, then F4 = $25
If D4 = 4, then F4 = $30
If D4 = 5, then F4 = $35
If D4 = 6, then F4 = $40
etc.. all the way to D4=10, then F4=$60 ($5 increments).
Essentially, all I would like to do is enter the number '5' into D4 and the appropriate total cost will automatically appear in F4.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Type this into F4,
=D4*5+10
And format it as currency ($)
Using If loops make it messy. If you must use If, use the following,
=IF(D4=10,60,IF(D4=9,55,IF(D4=8,50,IF(D4=7,45,IF(D4=6,40,IF(D4=5,35,IF(D4=4,30,IF(D4=3,25,IF(D4=2,20,IF(D4=1,15,"Enter a correct value"))))))))))
Kindly prepare a formula or correct this formula

if false we wants go for another checking A2 = 2,
if second checking is true its will select a already written value from a cell H2,
if second checking is false we wants go for another checking A2 = 3
if Third checking is true its will select a already written value from a cell H3
if Third checking is false we wants go for another checking A2 = 4
its will a continuous checking in each cell. is it possible in excel by "IF" function ?
Hi,
I would like to create an "if and" formula where: if the value in h183 is 4 and the value in a183 is 1, then the value in i183 is 2. It seems simple but I can not get the syntax correct. I have tried
=if(AND(H183=4,A183=1)),[I183=2]
what am I doing incorrectly.
Thank you

What will be the formula of if for multiple reason. Such as from USD 0 to 200,000 tax will be 1%, 200,001 to 500,000 will be 2.5%, 500,001 to 1500,000 will be 3.5%.
How does one combine the 4 IF Formula in one cell? I'm able to combine 2 together with no issues but when trying to combine 3 or all its fails.
1. If A1 is blank (True) then D1 is blank
=IF(ISBLANK(A2)=TRUE,””)
2. If A1 is not blank and B1 and C1is blank then D1 = A
=IF(ISBLANK(A8)=FALSE,IF(ISBLANK(B8)=TRUE,IF(ISBLANK(C8)=TRUE,"A")))
3. If A1 is not blank and B1 is not blank and C1 is Blank (True) then D14 = B
=IF(ISBLANK(A14)=FALSE,IF(ISBLANK(B14)=FALSE,IF(ISBLANK(C14)=TRUE,"B")))
4. If A1 is not blank (False) and B1 is blank (True) and C1 (False) is not blank then D19 = C
=IF(ISBLANK(A19)=FALSE,IF(ISBLANK(B19)=TRUE,IF(ISBLANK(C19)=FALSE,"C")))
Formula 1 and 2 together.
=IF(ISBLANK(A1)=TRUE,"",IF(ISBLANK(A1)=FALSE,IF(ISBLANK(B1)=TRUE,IF(ISBLANK(C1)=TRUE,"A"))))
Hi TinWin,
Try the following formula:

Wow you rock Svetlana! That totally worked!
I having trouble getting a if statement to perform a formula if the condition applies but to do nothing if it doesn't.
here is my sample
I need the number of characters in a cell to be 20 or less, so I want to reduce the number using this formula =IF(LEN(A1>=20),LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-10))
which works just fine, but i want it to do just copy the value in the the original cell if the length is already less than 20.
What do i have to add to this formula?

Hello,
I have a spread sheet with a Header in D1 (Issue date). I am trying to get result in Column F (Review) of "Not Due" if the date is less than 640 days from issue, "Due" if the date is between 641 to 720 days from issue, and finally "Over Due" if it is greater than 721 days from issue. I have been trying the IF function and can only seem to get 2 returns but not the third. Thanking you in advance.
David.
I think I've got it;
=IF(OR(D2=""),"",IF(D2>=TODAY()-641,"Not Due",IF(D2>=TODAY()-721,"Needs Review","Over Due")))
I have then applied Conditional formatting so that Not Due = Green, Needs Review = Yellow, and Over Due = Red
Seems to work Ok.

in order to receive the number 1 for the specific condition described or the numbers 2 or for the other conditions described accordingly?
I think the formula is right but excel unfortunatelly gives results of 1 only (cannot calculate 2 or 3).
to specify, this is the worksheet after the formulas copied to the b column:

I want to add If formula to a formula that is calculating dates.

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to sort out how much paid and voluntary work I do for a charity, what I need to know how many hours I have done paid.
So if it says paid in one cell I need it to add the hours to another cell. Is this doable?
Thank You
Hello Cody,
You can use a SUMIF formula similar to this:
=SUMIF(B:B, "paid", A:A )
Where column C contains hours, and column B - work descriptions like "paid".
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a formula, where if A is blank than leave destination cell blank, if A contains a date then destination cell to show the month from that date.
I came up with the following, which pulls the months through, but doesn't leave the cell blank if A does't have a date.
=IF(ISBLANK(A),"",MONTH(A:A))
would really appreciate your help.
thanks,
Suzie
Hi Suzie,
Because the IF function works on a cell level, you should specify a cell reference in a formula. For example, enter the following formula in row 1, and then coy it down to other cells in the column:
=IF(ISBLANK(A1),"",MONTH(A1))

If I have two of one of the numbers or zero of one of the numbers then I want it to be false. If I have it meets my criteria then I want it to be true. I hope that makes sense.
Thank you very much.
I have had to use this formula to create an extra column to do what I could not with a formula. Is it possible to get a total to count the two columns on one row and just add in to total rather than having to use the above formula in a column of its own. E.G the total will need to represent any time that there is date in both Column A and column B but does not need to show any data when there is data in only one of the columns. I would also like this represented by a number rather than a word.
Is that possible ?
Sean,
If my understanding is correct, you want to count the total of rows that have any value both in column A and B. If so, you can use the following COUNTIFS function:
=COUNTIFS(A:A, "<>"&"", B:B, "<>"&"")
If you are looking for something different, please clarify.
Hi Svetlana and team,
I would like to use a COUNTIF function or any other function to do this. If A5 and F5 contain values then K5 = Yes or 1 eg.
Is this possible within excel ?
Thanks

Hi Sean,
Sure, here's the formula for K5:
=IF(AND(A5<>"", F5<>""), "Yes", "")

Hi,
I want my formula for Ks to return value as blank or "". My formula orginally is:
=INDEX($D$5:$D$8,SUMPRODUCT(--($E$5=B5:B8),ROW($A$1:$A$4)))
The formula above works fine as it returns a value when i put value of any number in the column E5. However, I want my formula to return blank when a non-value, ie: a text or value with percentage such as '10%.
I tried this:
=IF(AND((INDEX($O$21:$O$24,SUMPRODUCT(--(G36=$M$21:$M$24),ROW($A$1:$A$4))))),"---")
but it returns "----" regardless when the criteria is met.
Below is example of excel, copy paste in a blank sheet.
FOR SOIL
Coefficient for shaft resistance, Ks
SPT N example
IN TEXT Range 1 Range 2 Ks SPT (IN VALUE) OR RQD (%-TEXT)
N<10 0 10 3.5 3
11<N<50 11 50 3 10%
51<N<100 51 100 2.5
101<N<150 101 150 2
Result to get:
FOR SPT 3 GET Ks 3.5 (ok- formula 1 works fine)
FOR RQD 10% GET Ks #VALUE! (not ok- formula 2 -because when we
insert a non-number it should return blank cell.
Thanks in advance,
