If someone asks you what Excel function you use most often, what would your answer be? In most cases, it's the Excel IF function. A regular If formula is very straightforward and easy to write. But what if your data requires more elaborate logical tests with multiple conditions? Continue reading

I have columns "A" and "B". "A" is defined as Currency and "B" is a date and "C" contains "=today()". I am trying to populate "B" with todays date when "A" is entered and only when "A" is entered. I have tried:
=IF(A1>0,$C$1,"") - which populates 'B1" when the sheet is opened if A1>0...I lose the date A1 was entered
=IF(AND(A1>0,B1=""),$C$1,"") - which didn't work at all...evaluate said circular reference "if 0 > 0"
I have tried multiple other attempts, but these seemed the most likely. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello!
Sorry, I do not fully understand the task. Formula =IF(A1>0,$C$1,””) is correct. What does "I lose the date A1 was entered"? Explain your problem in more detail.
Thank you for your response.
I enter a currency amount ($20.00) in A1 on June 1, 2020. The currency amount appears in A1 and 06/01/2020 appears in B1 (populated by the formula). On June 5, 2020 I open the spreadsheet and A1 contains $20.00, B1 contains 06/05/2020.... I lose the date the currency amount was entered. I would like to capture the date the currency amount is entered, and once captured, do not update it again. My second example where if A1 > 0 and B1 Is blank ("") was my attempt to leave B1 alone if it has already been populated, but I couldn't get that to work.
Hello!
Please check out the following article on our blog, it’ll be sure to help you with your task: Formula to insert today date & current time as unchangeable time stamp .
I hope my advice will help you solve your task.
Thank you very much. It works well. I should have searched for "time stamp". I guess it just shows that "all you have to know is what you are doing". Again, thank you.
I want to know how to calculate incentive for employees based on the below slab
Sale Range Incentive
0 - 2 lakh 0% ( Minimum level )
2 - 2.5 Lakh 10%
2.5 - 3 Lakh 15%
3 - 3.5 Lakh 20%
If the total sale is 2.75 lakh we have to give the employee an incentive for the amount of 75,000(2.75 lakh - 2.00 lakh ) . Out of the 75000, 50000 will be under 10% and balance 25000 will fall under 15% category. Can you help me to find a formula to calculate the incentive amount.
Hello!
Such questions have already been asked on the blog. I recommend reading this answer and this comment.
I hope my advice will help you solve your task.
If D2 is less than or equal to zero then G2 is equal to C2 plus .05, the rest is the same
If D2 is less than or equal to zero then G2 is equal to C2, or if D2 is greater than zero then G2 is equal to C2
Sorry I made a mistake. if D2 then G2 is equal to C2
I need excel to keep/change values in G2. If D20 then I want it to record the same value that is in C2
Hi!
I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. What does the condition "If D20" mean? Please describe your problem in more detail.
I am trying to use 2 if statements in 1 cell.

How can I write this in a formula. I have tried everything and cant get it to work.
Thank you
carissa
Hello!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=IF(H2="Y","E",IF(H2="N","F",""))
Hope this is what you need.
I have a data set on multiple row;
A1 40

Thank you.

Hi
I've looked across this page trying to find a solution to my problem i have learnt a lot, tried many examples and with adaptions but keep getting errors.
I'm querying a cell entry, there would be a possible 10 entries but need to show something different in another cell.
problem - (if_C1=###,then###,or###,then###)
So if the data in C1=FCP-1 THEN IN CELL J1 SHOW !F1, BUT if C1=FCP-2 then in J1 show !F2 and so on.
any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,

I reviewed several formulas, entry level, and couldn't find one to do the following: compare three numbers, select the lowest of the three and once selected to input a text outcome.
Ex: 115000/Low 125000/Median 130000/High
They are in different boxes but on same row. G21, J21 & N21 with the text to be written on say P21. Could someone please direct me to a proper formula that I can use. Thank You!!
Hello Eve!
For me to be able to help you better, please specify which formula you mean and describe the problem in more detail. Are only numbers or numbers and text written in the cells? Do you want to display the minimum value in some other cell? Or want to select a cell with a minimum value? What does "text to be written on say P21" mean? Thank you.
dear,
please solve this,
if i take some figures total in need how many times coming actual coming
for ex:
120+128+126+59+596+1669+1556 = 4254
now i need how many times coming 600 in 4254 so need formula in excel
thanks and regards
Hello Rinash!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=INT(4254/600)
Read more in this article.
Hope this is what you need.
I am using the following: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($F5,ndapo,$E5)+30,($F5-150)*VLOOKUP($F5,ndappo,$E5)+VLOOKUP($F5,ndapo,$E5))
It works with the exception that it doesn't add the per pound rate. Example:
column References: F=Bill Wgt; ndapo=net rates; e=Zone
Rated Zone Bill WGT rate with no per lb rates
108 225 $1,276.50
108 225 $1,281.20
My goal:
150lb Rate <150 rate Per lbs Excess Wgt <150 Total Per lbs Result should be
$1,246.50 8.31 75 $623.25 $1,869.75

I'm hoping someone can help with this. I'm trying to calculate a timesheet (working Hours), but if someone has annual leave.

Hi,

Depending on the combinations of "severity" and "probability" the following "Risk Class" results should be presented. Hope someone can come up with the relevant nested IF?

If severity = L and Probability = L then Risk Class = 3
severity Probability = Risk Class
L L = 3

So I use to work for a company that I helped them out with replacing parts on their machines when it got within a certain date range. I did this using excel and its the only one that I did. I currently working on something similar where lets say there is an end date of 1-6-2020 and I need a formula that gives me a red flag when the actual date gets within 30 days of that June Date. I can't remember how the formula goes. could anyone give me a little bit of advice?
Assuming the end date is entered in A1:
=IF(TODAY()+30>=A1,"Deadline coming up","Still enough time")
=IF(H2>=$F$1;IF(H1="NED";"NE";IF(H1>=$F$1;"DA";));"NE")
i need to add another IF- if it is "SUB" then "NE"
(H1="NED";"NE";IF(H1>=$F$1;"DA";));"NE")-> this but with SUB, and it needs to fit in the formula on the top
pleeeease

I have the following formula that works fine:
=SUM(IF(G4="Rad",4,IF(G4="Green",3,IF(G4="Blue",2,IF(G4="Yellow",1,Good))))/COUNTA(G4:J4))
where
Red = 4
Green =3

I want to apply this formula for entire row.
what I did is below:
=SUM(IF(G4="Rad",4,IF(G4="Green",3,IF(G4="Blue",2,IF(G4="Yellow",1))))
+(IF(H4="Rad",4,IF(H4="Green",3,IF(H4="Blue",2,IF(H4="Yellow",1))))

It will be hard if have 30 or 50 cells,

I have a spreadsheet calculating months of service to clients. They can have a start date, a suspended date, a restart date and an exit date. The service may have never been suspended so the suspended date and the restart date could be empty. There could be a suspended date and never restart so the exit would be the same as the suspended date. I am trying to calculate the total months of service to each client. How can I write an if/or statement to tell it to use start date then suspended date then restart date then exit date, but to ignore there is no suspended date, but to use start and suspend date if there is no restart date? This is what I have so far: =(DATEDIF(D2,E2,"D")+DATEDIF(F2,I2,"D"))/30

Hi, I have two conditional parameters..
The simple formula is: =IF(F19<=15; F18*F19*72; IF(F1930; F19*F18*72*0,91)))

F19 is number of days.
F18 is number of cats.
But I need another one when is more then 1 cat, so for each extra cat the value is $20, and not the same price of one. How do I work a formula with more then one condition parameter?
