Using IF function in Excel: formula examples for numbers, text, dates, blank cells

by | updated on

IF is one of the most popular and useful functions in Excel. You use an IF statement to test a condition and to return one value if the condition is met, and another value if the condition is not met.

In this tutorial, we are going to learn the syntax and common usages of Excel IF function, and then will have a closer look at formula examples that will hopefully prove helpful both to beginners and experienced users.

Excel IF function - syntax and usage

The IF function is one of logical functions that evaluates a certain condition and returns the value you specify if the condition is TRUE, and another value if the condition is FALSE.

The syntax for IF is as follows:

IF(logical_test, [value_if_true], [value_if_false])

As you see, the IF function has 3 arguments, but only the first one is obligatory, the other two are optional.

  • logical_test (required) - a value or logical expression that can be either TRUE or FALSE. In this argument, you can specify a text value, date, number, or any comparison operator.

    For example, your logical test can be expressed as or B1="sold", B1<12/1/2014, B1=10 or B1>10.

  • value_if_true (optional) - the value to return when the logical test evaluates to TRUE, i.e. if the condition is met.

    For example, the following formula will return the text "Good" if a value in cell B1 is greater than 10: =IF(B1>10, "Good")

  • value_if_false (optional) - the value to be returned if the logical test evaluates to FALSE, i.e. if the condition is not met.

    For example, if you add "Bad" as the third parameter to the above formula, it will return the text "Good" if a value in cell B1 is greater than 10, otherwise, it will return "Bad":
    =IF(B1>10, "Good", "Bad")

Excel IF function - formula example

IF function - things to remember!

Though the last two parameters of the IF function are optional, your formula may produce unexpected results if you don't know the underlying logic beneath the hood.

  1. If value_if_true is omitted

    If the value_if_true argument is omitted (i.e. there is only a comma following logical_test), the IF function returns zero (0) when the condition is met. Here is an example of such a formula:

    =IF(B1>10,, "Bad")

    In case you don't want your Excel IF statement to display any value when the condition is met, enter double quotes ("") in the second parameter, like this: =IF(B1>10, "", "Bad"). Technically, in this case the formula returns an empty string, which is invisible to the user but perceivable to other functions.

    The following screenshot demonstrates the above approaches in action, and the second one seems to be more sensible:
    IF formulas with the value_if_true argument omitted

  2. If value_if_false is omitted

    If you don't care what happens when the specified condition is not met, you can omit the 3rd parameter in your formulas, which will result in the following.

    If the logical test evaluates to FALSE and the value_if_false parameter is omitted (there is just a closing bracket after the value_if_true argument), the IF function returns the logical value FALSE. It's a bit unexpected, isn't it? Here is an example of such a formula:

    =IF(B1>10, "Good")

    Putting a comma after the value_if_true argument forces your IF formula to return 0, which doesn't make much sense either:

    =IF(B1>10, "Good",)

    And again, the most reasonable approach is to put "" in the third argument, in this case you will have empty cells when the condition is not met:

    =IF(B1>10, "Good", "")

    IF formulas with the value_if_false argument omitted

  3. Get the IF function to display logical values TRUE or FALSE

    For your Excel IF formula to display the logical values TRUE and FALSE when the specified condition is met and not met, respectively, type TRUE in the value_if_true argument. The value_if_false parameter can be FALSE or omitted. Here's a formula example:

    =IF(B1>10, TRUE, FALSE)
    or
    =IF(B1>10, TRUE)
    an example of the IF function that displays logical values TRUE or FALSE

    Note. For your IF statement to return TRUE and FALSE as the logical values (Boolean values) that other formulas can recognize, make sure you don't enclose them in double quotes. A visual indication of a Boolean is middle align in a cell, as you see in the screenshot above.

    If you want "TRUE" and "FALSE" to be usual text values, enclose them in "double quotes". In this case, the returned values will be aligned left and formatted as General. No Excel formula will recognize such "TRUE" and "FALSE" text as logical values.

  4. IF formula to perform a math operation and return a result

    Instead of returning certain values, you can get your IF formula to test the specified condition, perform a corresponding math operation and return a value based on the result. You do this by using arithmetic operators or other functions in the value_if_true and /or value_if_false arguments. Here are just a couple of formula examples:

    Example 1: =IF(A1>B1, C3*10, C3*5)

    The formula compares the values in cells A1 and B1, and if A1 is greater than B1, it multiplies the value in cell C3 by 10, by 5 otherwise.

    Example 2: =IF(A1<>B1, SUM(A1:D1), "")

    The formula compares the values in cells A1 and B1, and if A1 is not equal to B1, the formula returns the sum of values in cells A1:D1, an empty string otherwise.

Using the IF function in Excel - formula examples

Now that you are familiar with the IF function's syntax, let's look at some formula examples and learn how to use it in real-life scenarios.

Excel IF statement for numbers: greater than, less than, equal to

The use of the IF function with numeric values is based on using different comparison operators to express your conditions. You will find the full list of logical operators illustrated with formula examples in the table below.

Condition Operator Formula Example Description
Greater than > =IF(A2>5, "OK",) If the number in cell A2 is greater than 5, the formula returns "OK"; otherwise 0 is returned.
Less than < =IF(A2<5, "OK", "") If the number in cell A2 is less than 5, the formula returns "OK"; an empty string otherwise.
Equal to = =IF(A2=5, "OK", "Wrong number") If the number in cell A2 is equal to 5, the formula returns "OK"; otherwise the function displays "Wrong number".
Not equal to <> =IF(A2<>5, "Wrong number", "OK") If the number in cell A2 is not equal to 5, the formula returns "Wrong number "; otherwise - "OK".
Greater than or equal to >= =IF(A2>=5, "OK", "Poor") If the number in cell A2 is greater than or equal to 5, the formula returns "OK"; otherwise - "Poor".
Less than or equal to <= =IF(A2<=5, "OK", "") If the number in cell A2 is less than or equal to 5, the formula returns "OK"; an empty string otherwise.

The screenshot below demonstrates the IF formula with the "Greater than or equal to" logical operator in action:
the IF formula with the "Greater than or equal to" logical operator.

Excel IF examples for text values

Generally, you write an IF statement with text using either "equal to" or "not equal to" operator, as demonstrated in a couple of IF examples that follow.

Example 1. Case-insensitive IF formula for text values

Like the overwhelming majority of functions, IF is case-insensitive by default. What it means for you is that logical tests for text values do not recognize case in usual IF formulas.

For example, the following IF formula returns either "Yes" or "No" based on the "Delivery Status" (column C):

=IF(C2="delivered", "No", "Yes")

Translated into plain English, the formula tells Excel to return "No" if a cell in column C contains the word "Delivered", otherwise return "Yes". At that, it does not really matter how you type the word "Delivered" in the logical_test argument - "delivered", "Delivered", or "DELIVERED". Nor does it matter whether the word "Delivered" is in lowercase or uppercase in the source table, as illustrated in the screenshot below.
Case-insensitive IF formula for text values

Another way to achieve exactly the same result is to use the "not equal to" operator and swap the value_if_true and value_if_false arguments:

=IF(C2<>"delivered", "Yes", "No")

Example 2. Case-sensitive IF formula for text values

If you want a case-sensitive logical test, use the IF function in combination with EXACT that compares two text strings and returns TRUE if the strings are exactly the same, otherwise it returns FALSE. The EXACT functions is case-sensitive, though it ignores formatting differences.

You use IF with EXACT in this way:

=IF(EXACT(C2,"DELIVERED"), "No", "Yes")

Where C is the column to which your logical test applies and "DELIVERED" is the case-sensitive text value that needs to be matched exactly.
Case-sensitive IF formula for text values

Naturally, you can also use a cell reference rather than a text value in the 2nd argument of the EXACT function, if you want to.

Note. When using text values as parameters for your IF formulas, remember to always enclose them in "double quotes".

Example 3. Excel IF with wildcard (partial match)

If you want to base your condition on a partial match rather than exact match, an immediate solution that comes to mind is using wildcard characters (* or ?) in the logical_test argument. However, this simple and obvious approach won't work. Many functions accept wildcards, but regrettably IF is not one of them.

A solution is to use IF in combination with ISNUMBER and SEARCH (case-insensitive) or FIND (case-sensitive) functions.

For example, if No action is required both for "Delivered" and "Out for delivery" items, the following formula will work a treat:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("deliv",C2)), "No", "Yes")
IF formula for text values with partial match

We've used the SEARCH function in the above formula since a case-insensitive match suits better for our data. If you want a case-sensitive match, simply replace SEARCH with FIND in this way:

=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("text", where to search)), value_if_true, value_if_false)

Excel IF formula examples for dates

At first sight, it may seem that IF formulas for dates are identical to IF statements for numeric and text values that we've just discussed. Regrettably, it is not so.

Unlike many other Excel functions, IF cannot recognize dates and interprets them as mere text strings, which is why you cannot express your logical test simply as >"11/19/2014" or >11/19/2014. Neither of the above arguments is correct, alas.

Example 1. IF formulas for dates with DATEVALUE function

To make the IF function recognize a date in your logical test as a date, you have to wrap it in the DATEVALUE function, like this DATEVALUE("11/19/2014"). The complete IF formula may take the following shape:

=IF(C2<DATEVALUE("11/19/2014"), "Completed", "Coming soon")

As illustrated in the screenshot below, this IF formula evaluates the dates in column C and returns "Completed" if a game was played before Nov-11. Otherwise, the formula returns "Coming soon".
An example of the IF formula with the DATEVALUE function

Example 2. IF formulas with TODAY() function

In case you base your condition on the current date, you can use the TODAY() function in the logical_test argument of your IF formula. For example:

=IF(C2<DATEVALUE("11/19/2014"), "Completed", "Coming soon")

Naturally, the Excel IF function can understand more complex logical tests, as demonstrated in the next example.

Example 3. Advanced IF formulas for future and past dates

Suppose, you want to mark only the dates that occur in more than 30 days from now. In this case, you can express the logical_test argument as A2-TODAY()>30. The complete IF formula may be as follows:

=IF(A2-TODAY()>30, "Future date", "")

To point out past dates that occurred more than 30 days ago, you can use the following IF formula:

=IF(TODAY()-A2>30, "Past date", "")
Advanced IF formulas for future and past dates

If you want to have both indications in one column, you will need to use a nested IF function like this:

=IF(A2-TODAY()>30, "Future date", IF(TODAY()-A2>30, "Past date", ""))
A nested IF formula for dates

Excel IF examples for blank, non-blank cells

If you want to somehow mark your data based on a certain cell(s) being empty or not empty, you can either:

  • Use the Excel IF function in conjunction with ISBLANK, or
  • Use the logical expressions ="" (equal to blank) or <>"" (not equal to blank).

The table below explains the difference between these two approaches and provides formula example.

Logical test Description Formula Example
Blank cells ="" Evaluates to TRUE if a specified cell is visually empty, including cells with zero length strings.

Otherwise, evaluates to FALSE.

 =IF(A1="", 0, 1)

Returns 0 if A1 is visually blank. Otherwise returns 1.

If A1 contains an empty string, the formula returns 0.
ISBLANK() Evaluates to TRUE is a specified cell contains absolutely nothing - no formula, no empty string returned by some other formula.

Otherwise, evaluates to FALSE.

 =IF(ISBLANK(A1), 0, 1)

Returns the results identical to the above formula but treats cells with zero length strings as non-blank cells.

That is, if A1 contains an empty string, the formula returns 1.
Non-blank cells <>"" Evaluates to TRUE if a specified cell contains some data. Otherwise, evaluates to FALSE.

Cells with zero length strings are considered blank.

 =IF(A1<>"", 1, 0)

Returns 1 if A1 is non-blank; otherwise returns 0.

If A1 contains an empty string, the formula returns 0.
ISBLANK()=FALSE Evaluates to TRUE if a specified cell is not empty. Otherwise, evaluates to FALSE.

Cells with zero length strings are considered non-blank.

 =IF(ISBLANK(A1)=FALSE, 0, 1)

Works the same as the above formula, but returns 1 if A1 contains an empty string.

The following example demonstrates blank / non-blank logical test in action.

Suppose, you have a date in column C only if a corresponding game (column B) was played. Then, you can use either of the following IF formulas to mark completed games:

=IF($C2<>"", "Completed", "")

=IF(ISBLANK($C2)=FALSE, "Completed", "")

Since there are no zero-length strings in our table, both formulas will return identical results:
The IF formula for blank / non-blank cells

Hopefully, the above examples have helped you understand the general logic of the IF function. In practice, however, you would often want a single IF formula to check multiple conditions, and our next article will show you how to tackle this task. In addition, we will also explore nested IF functions, array IF formulas, IFEFFOR and IFNA functions and more. Please stay tuned and thank you for reading!

    My formula is used to do education tracking for work:

    {=MAX(IF('Raw Data'!$A$2:$A$19997=$C$31,(IF('Raw Data'!$I$2:$I$19997='Course Names'!E47,'Raw Data'!$L$2:$L$19997))))}

    It worked great when there was only one course per requirement. Now there are 4+ course names per requirement. I was wondering if it is possible to modify the 'Course Names'!E47 part of the formula to have multiple courses to draw the most current date from.

    I tried 'Course Names'!E47:E53 But it keeps giving me a #N/A error now. Unless I drop it down to one course. I suppose I could list every single course but that could get quite large and I try to keep the readout to one page for ease of use for the manager.

    I am using Excel 2016.

    ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi

    I want help in writing an advanced function which gives the output in week number when the existing inventory specified in the data will run out. The column header specify product title, existing inventory quantity, Sales projections from WK 1 to WK 52. The rows have the product name, and the corresponding values to the headers. Please refer to the below data for reference:

    Product A, Qty 52, WK 1 - 10 units, WK 2 - 10 units, WK 3 - 10 units, WK 4 - 12 units, WK 5 - 10 units
    Product B, Qty 65, WK 1 - 5 units, WK 2 - 10 units, WK 3 - 10 units, WK 4 - 10 units, WK 5 - 10 units, WK 6 - 10 units, WK 7 - 10 units

    I want a the output as a column in which it specifies the WK num in which the existing qty is running out.
    The answer should be like WK 5 for Product A and WK 7 for product B.

    Is this possible?

    Hi There,
    I need your help to fix this formula. if a colleague works more than 365 days but less than 1800 days that the number of days should multiply by 0.02. but if the colleague works more than 1095 days and less than 1800 days, then that number of days should multiply by 0.04. Above 1825 days then must multiply by 0.06
    if he works more than 2190 days then should multiply by 0.08.

    Highly appreciate your guidance

    Hello!

    Im trying to place multiple functions in single formula, however, I have a roadblock which hopefully we can clear,

    My current formula is:
    =IF(I2=G2,"Completed Same Day Plotted",IF(I2G2,"Didn't Complete On Time")))

    Legend:
    I2 - Date Completed (this data is extracted and vlooked up from another report)
    G2 - Plotted Date

    The problem Im encountering is, in the source file of the Date Completed, if it appears blank, it will automatically place 0/01/1900 which will trigger the Completed Before Plotted Date.

    I'm trying to add a formula that would generate a result stating if date is 0/01/1900, it means the person is currently finishing the course or it can be reflecting as "In Progress".

    How do I do that?

    This was awesome. I wanted to track the status of an inventory of items that move from one status to another status as they are delivered, used, and readied for removal. This will assist in visualizing the lifespan of an object by using nested if statements and using the cell value as the final "if not true" statement to keep the value present when if has a calculation change but only on the date that the change takes place. This is interesting. my formula does require the file to be opened each day, so that the date change will trigger the status calculation in the field. I am using conditional statements to color code the cells based on the values 1,2 or 3 which is assigned to the cell of the date on that line of the object based on its status which is chosen off criteria as I alter the cell information of the objects as they change status by entering the date of the change of that status, and using a null cell to keep unused rows from calculation.

    Works great.

    Sir, let me apologize ahead of time for the incoherent attempt to describe the problem...

    I am attempting to have two columns that contain specific text (drop down selection) yield a result based on the multiple combination of options. I am trying to get develop a formula that uses the specific text with multiple variations results in generating new text based on the two cells. Looking below you can see there are multiple combinations that will results in RAC 1, RAC 2, RAC 3, and RAC 4.

    In short the goal is to select the probability and Severity rating then the RAC Code will auto-populate based on the available combinations.

    Probability Severity RAC Code
    I Catastrophic (A) Frequent RAC 1
    I Catastrophic (B) Likely RAC 1
    (II) Critical (A) Frequent RAC 1
    (I) Catastrophic (C) Occasional RAC 2
    (I) Catastrophic (D) Seldom RAC 2
    (II) Critical (B) Likely RAC 2
    (II) Critical (C) Occasional RAC 2
    (III) Moderate (A) Frequent RAC 2
    (III) Moderate (B) Likely RAC 2
    (III) Moderate (C) Occasional RAC 2
    I Catastrophic (E) Unlikely RAC 3
    (II) Critical (D) Seldom RAC 3
    (IV) Negligible (A) Frequent RAC 3
    (II) Critical (E) Unlikely RAC 4
    (III) Moderate (D) Seldom RAC 4
    (III) Moderate (E) Unlikely RAC 4
    (IV) Negligible (B) Likely RAC 4
    (IV) Negligible (C) Occasional RAC 4
    (IV) Negligible (D) Seldom RAC 4

    Hi Albeit Team,

    Thanks for a great article. I have a range of data showing a merchant's transactions performed through a platform that we'll call FastExpress broken down in a sample below (the original data has over 10,000 entries):

    PAID_LOCAL STATUS CURRENCY AMOUNT COUNTRY_CODE CARD COMPANY
    01/04/2019 success USD 1,956.00 US Mastercard
    02/04/2019 failed USD 2,390.57 GH Mastercard
    02/04/2019 success USD 1,201.06 GB AmEx
    02/04/2019 success USD 5,201.06 GB AmEx

    The Card company takes it fees, FastEx takes theirs and then pays the merchant
    The Card company & FastEx has the below fees:

    Mastercard = 1% for local transactions (done in US) and 1.5% for foreign transactions if fees are below $200 then 2% and 2.5% respectively for fees equal to or above $200

    AmEx = 1.2% for local transactions (done in US) and 1.7% for foreign transactions if fees are below $200 then 2.2% and 2.7% respectively for fees equal to or above $200

    FastEx = 0.8% for local transactions (done in US) and 1.3% for foreign transactions if fees are below $200 then 1.8% and 2.3% respectively for fees equal to or above $200

    Please note that fees are capped at $180 maximum for local transactions

    and would like calculate how much is due to pay the Card Company, how much for FastEx and the net payment to the merchant
    Not sure if the IF function would best suit this computation as every attempt kept getting confusing and complex.

    Hoping to hear from you.
    Thanks!

    Hi.
    I am trying to create a formula with this information:

    If Date A - Date B (check-in and check-out date for guests) are lower than 20.6.2022 or higher than 31.8.2022 the statement is true, value should be "low" if they are between those dates (so higher than 20.6 and lower than 31.8) then "high".

    I tried:
    =IF(AND(B4=DATEVALUE("31.8.2022"), D4=DATEVALUE("31.8.2022")), "low", "high")
    But it doesn't really work. Help would be apreciated.

        Hi, me again :)
        Your solution worked. Thank you.

        But what if I want to make it even more complicated.
        Instead of 2 "seasons" I want to use 3.

        So for example.
        1.4. - 20.5.2022 = low
        21.5 - 30.6.2022 = mid
        1.7 - 31.8.2022 = high
        1.9 - 30.9 = mid
        1.10 - 31.10 = low again

        I tried with IFS but it gets complicated because it has to check 2 times or maybe I'm just useless when it comes to this.
        Or maybe it can't be done.
        I would appreciate the help.
        Thanks in advance.

    I am trying to apply a formula to the cell if a specific cell contains specific text like D8 contains the total amount of project order and E8 contains the status of order ether it is completed canceled or under revision. In F8, I want to use IF Formula in such a way that if E8=completed then it will apply the formula to get the value of 80% of the D8 Our Actual Profit, rest 20% is our cost of work) but if the text is not equal to completed then the value should be 0. How can it be possible? I am trying this formula but getting error (=IF(E8=Completed,"(D8/100)*80", "0")).

    Good evening,

    I am in grad school and we had a test that asked if the following formula was wrong. =IF($A1="Yes","1","0")

    I put this in excel and gave it a set of data under column A and went from row 1-10 using yes and no. The formula worked correctly, however, I am told I was wrong and the formula wouldn't work because you are not allowed to put quotation marks on numbers in an IF statement.

    Is not using quotations on numbers in an IF statement his opinion or is it a fact? If it is fact, then why does the formula still work with the given data set?

      Hello!
      The quotes mean that the number is written as text. Your formula will return the number as text. The numbers in quotes follow the syntax of the IF function and are not an error in using it. However, keep in mind that with these numbers you will not be able to perform mathematical calculations, since they are already text. However, there is no prohibition in Excel to use quotes with numbers.

    =IF(A1;"text";"") - returns "text" if a1 has any data and blank if a1 is blank

    but

    =IF(AND(A1;DAY(A1)1);"text";"") - returns "text" if a1 is blank or has data, and blank only if day(a1) is 1

    =IF(AND(A1"";DAY(A1)1);"text";"") - works as intended

    Hello,

    While creating a time sheet that will auto calculate an invoice amount I have tried the above, referencing the "IF formula to perform a math operation and return a result".

    My data comes from a drop down list. I want the particular cell to say "ok, if this cell says "client A", then do this math formula in this other cell". The problem is, each of the names in my drop down list corresponds to a different percentage rate to multiply the payrate by in order to get the bill rate..make sense? So if the worker had x hours working for client A I want to be able to choose client A from the drop down list, manually enter the pay rate for that employee, and then have the sheet calculate the OT pay rate, regular bill rate, OT bill rate and total it all at the bottom to show what the invoice should be. I have all of the other work done, I just cannot seem to get past this part, and I wonder if I am trying to get Excel to do too much with too little. Please help.

    Here is how I have entered the formula.

    Client A Client B Client C pay rate
    =IF(AND(OR('Dropdown Lists'!A30,'Dropdown Lists'!A34,'Dropdown Lists'!A50)), N17 + N17*45%)

        Dear Mr. Trifuntov,
        Thank you for your revert. You have made it amazingly simple. Sincerely appreciate. It fits well and resolves my query with exception to scenerio under option 4. The final formula i am using is:
        =IF(AE5>TODAY(),"Not Due",IF(ISBLANK(AF5),"Not Received","Received"))

        In the outputs below Amount is AD5 , Date due on is AE5, Received on is AF5 and output cell is the column marked Status that is AG5. Under option 4 we receive the amount before the due date. We wanted to give a preference that if the amount is received before due date then output should show "Received" instead of showing "Not Due". Would it be possible to incorporate such preference in the formula.

        Output 1
        Amount Date Status
        Due On Received On
        200,000 27-10-21 Not Received

        Output 2
        Amount Date Status
        Due On Received On
        200,000 27-10-21 28-10-21 Received

        Output 3
        Amount Date Status
        Due On Received On
        200,000 30-11-21 Not Due

    Hi,

    URGENT

    I am in urgent need to a formula to help me update a current file with new COGS and RRP pricing.

    But not all articles under a certain category need to be updated. So if I filtered original file to a specific category and did a VLOOKUP, will any data on not filtered rows change also if row numbers are not in running order and skips rows?

    Basically, I only want to update some articles with new data and retain existing data for those articles not on new data file.

    Thanking you.

    Chris

    Hi, I am tracking 'aging overdue invoices', and I am creating an IF statement formula where it finds the total per days outstanding. My database output provides the days outstanding and many ROWS I get the text "NULL". All overdue days list correctly on second column with current formula. How can I insert the TEXT "NULL" on "column B" Aging Bucket when "Column A" reads NULL?

    Here is my current formula inserted on "Column "Aging Bucket" ROW "B2":

    =IF(A2>90,"91-120 Days Past Due ",IF(A2>60,"61-90 Days Past Due",IF(A2>15,"16-30 Days Past due",IF(A2>-0.1,"0-15 Days Past Due","0 Current"))))

    My current data output:

    Column A

    Days_Overdue
    NULL
    NULL
    280
    19

    Column B

    Aging Bucket
    181-365+ Days Past Due
    181-365+ Days Past Due
    181-365+ Days Past Due
    0-30 Current

    For any price that is a full number, give me back 'reg price', ex. 5.00
    for any price ending with .98, give me back 'mkdn price', ex. 4.98.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello,

    I'm using an IF function so that if the ranking in table A is either 9, 10 or 11, we shall output the performance from another corresponding, yet separate table of data and leave blank if otherwise.

    The formula looks like:
    =IF(P166=9,AP166,"")&IF(P166=10,AP166,"")&IF(P166=11,AP166,"")

    This has worked to the point where the correct corresponding performance data has been outputted, however, these are in decimal format and it will not allow me to change these to a percentage format (despite allowing me to select the 'percentage option', nothing changes). Furthermore, I cannot alter the number of decimal points that the newly outputted data is displayed to.

    As the data is essentially the same, I thought this might not be too big of an issue. However, when I go to find the average of the 3 outputted performances, I get the error message:
    #DIV/0!
    Upon further digging, I found that when I go to simply sum up the three outputs, It gives me zero (when this shouldn't be the case).

    It's almost as if the IF function output isn't being recognised by excel despite being visible (and correct) on my screen.

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi guys, i need help with something. I checked this text and cant find out if something like i need can be done in excel or not...

    For example, i have 12 values in dropdown menu in a cell (data validation) and i would like if i can set up something that when i change value from dropdown menu, excel can input predefined text (2 options only) in predetermined field.

    For example, if i select P-3340 from dropdown menu, i would like for excel to change cell below into From well.

    Can something like that be done? I actually dont need eny calculations, just that when i select something from dropdown menu, it changes next cell or two. I do a lot of repetitive reports and this would save a ton of time.

    Hi! I could use some help if anyone is available.

    I have 2 sheets that contain the same column called "Content Title".

    Sheet 2 has an additional column with data in it called "Total Unique Users". I want to bring over the data from Sheet 2 column "Total Unique Users" to Sheet 1 if I can find the same Content Title in Sheet 1.

    For example, If Content Title in Sheet 1 is equal in Sheet 2, pull the data from the "Total Unique Users" column in Sheet 2 into Sheet 1.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    I don't understand why my if statement does not work. I am searching for age based on year in 2 digit format. 98, 02, 13 ect. The year for the exercise is 2014. The formula I wrote follows:

    =IF(F6<14, 14-F6, 114-F6)

    The results all come back 14-F6 no matter if the value is above or below 14. but if it is above 14 shouldn't the function follow the false result function of 114-F6?

    Does a have to be equated to zero specifically or something. I finally got the function to work with =IF(F6-14>0, 100-F6+14, 14-F6) but that seems like a lot of extra steps compared to my first equation.

    Hi. I am trying to create a formula that compares a single cell to an entire column(unlimited number) of data. Basically I have a tracking # in a cell and need to compare that to a column consisting of tracking #'s that have been shipped(I will be continuously adding to this column). I want to create a column that lets me know if that tracking # in a cell has been shipped.
    So I was tried using formula:
    =if(C9=I:I,"Shipped","Freezer")

    But it doesn't not work. even though that cell(C9) matches a number in I:I, it will not display shipped and only displays freezer instead.
