  1. I'm not sure if this is possible. I've been struggling with it for a couple of hours:

    I need a conditional formula that is conditional on the value in a single cell. For example
    If F2="Apple" and E3>F3 then G3=1 or 0 if second condition isn't met but,
    If F2="Orange" and E3>1 then G3=1 or 0 if second condition isn't met but,
    If F2="Grape" and E3>F3 then G3=1 or 0 if second condition isn't met but,
    If F2="Banana" and E3>1.5 then G3=1 or 0 if second condition isn't met and etc.

    Typing it out sounds sort of irrational but I feel like there should be a way that I can manipulate the formulas. Any ideas?

    1. I figured out how do do what I mentioned above. For anyone reading this that may find it helpful, in the above example the formula that goes in cell G3 would be:

      =IF(OR(AND(F2="Apple", E3>F3), AND(F2="Orange", E3>1), AND(F2="Grape", E3>F3), AND(F2="Banana", E3>1.5)), 1, 0)

    2. Hello!
      If I understand your task correctly, try the following formula:

      =IF(OR(AND(F2="Apple",E3>F3),AND(F2="Orange",E3>1),AND(F2="Gape",E3>F3),AND(F2="Banana",E3>1.5)),1,0)

      You can read more details here - IF AND OR formula.

      1. I did not see your response as I was typing my own. My apologies. This formula works perfectly! Thank you!

  2. I am trying to work a formula with the following:

    T1= Week 1 and U1 = 4 calculate D3/4
    T1= Week 2 and U1 = 4 calculate D3/2
    T1= Week 3 and U1 = 4 calculate (D3/4)*3
    T1= Week 4 and U1 = 4 enter D3
    T2= Week 1 and U1 = 5 calculate D3/5
    T2= Week 2 and U1 = 5 calculate (D3/5)*2
    T2= Week 3 and U1 = 5 calculate (D3/5)*3
    T2= Week 4 and U1 = 5 calculate (D3/5)*4
    T2= Week 5 and U1 = 5 enter D3

    Tried the following formula but it doesn't seem to work

    =IF(OR(AND($T$1="Week 1",$U$1="4",D3/4),AND($T$1="week 2",$U$1="4",D3/2),AND($T$1="Week 3",$U$1="4",(D3/4)*3),AND($T$1="Week 1",U1="5",D3/5),AND($T$1="Week 2",$U$1="5",(D3/5)*2),AND($T$1="Week 3",$U$1="5",(D3/5)*3),AND($T$1="Week 4",$U$1="5",(D3/5)*4)),D3)

    Can you help?

    1. Hello!
      For the first four conditions, use a nested IF function. It is impossible to combine all conditions in one formula, as they contradict each other. For example, the first and fifth conditions can return TRUE at the same time.

      =IF(AND(T1="Week 1",U1=4),D3/4, IF(AND(T1="Week 2",U1=4),D3/2, IF(AND(T1="Week 3",U1=4),D3/4*3, IF(AND(T1="Week 4",U1=4),D3,""))))

      I hope it’ll be helpful.

      1. Thank you - this is helpful!

  3. Hope someone can help me figure this out.
    I have a column "date rented" formatted mm/dd/yyyy.
    What I need to do is the following numeric values returned based on tenant's length of stay:
    If 5 years and 10 years and 5 years and 30 years then 5

    1. Hope someone can help me figure this out. I have a column "Birth Date".
      What I need is return the following numeric values based on the Date column
      - If Birth Date 2 years and 5 years and 10 years then 4

  4. Can you please help me to get a suitable formulas for :

    Cell Number : B5

    (B5) Not Exceeding 53846 - (C7*10%)
    (B5) Exceeding 53846 but not exceeding 75000 - (C7*12.5%)
    (B5) Exceeding 75000 - (C7*15%)

    Please ignore my previous message. it was a mistake.

    Thanks

  5. Can you please provide me with assistance for a multiple "IF" formula, using the following conditions;

    If the value in cell B27 is between 15 and 17, then the answer = 350
    If the value in cell B27 is between 18 and 19, then the answer = 800
    If the value in cell B27 is between 20 and 24, then the answer = 1350
    If the value in cell B27 is greater than 24, then the answer = 2350
    If the value in cell B27 is less than 15, then the answer = 0

    So far I have come up with the following formula for the first condition:

    =IF(AND(B27>15,B27<18),350,0

    This works, but when I try to add the other conditions I get an error. Can you please show me what I need to do to add the other criteria to this formula correctly.

      1. Hi Alexander,

        Thanks for your reply, it is very much appreciated.

        However, your formula didn't quite work properly. I have made the following adjustment to your formula and this now works fine.

        =IF(B27>24,2350,IF(B27>19,1350,IF(B27>17,800,IF(B27>14,350,0))))

        Thanks again for your assistance.

        Kind regards,
        Collis

    2. Oops, I meant =IF(AND(B27>14,B27<18),350,0)

  6. Dear Sir,

    We need you help regarding the below function. The below function working stock monitoring.
    But SHORTAGE not coming automatically and other all function working.
    I need you intervention in issue.

    =IF(O59>=F59,"RACK FULL",IF(O59>=H59,"Max Level",IF(O59>=G59,"Min Level",IF(O59<=G59,"PLAN PROD",IF(T59<1,"SHORTAGE")))))

  7. Dear Alexander Trifuntov,

    I really appreciate your knowledge and I hope you can help me.
    I have the following case:

    A) 200,000
    B) 100,000
    C) 50,000
    SUM: 350,000

    If the sum is equal to or greater than 350000, then write me 350000*0.2%, if the sum is less than 350000, and A is greater than or equal to 200000, then write me 20000*0.2%, and if A is less than 200000, and the sum is less than 350000, then write me 0.

  8. is it possible to put this in 1 "IF" condition:

    ABHLSV = 849233122
    BCCSS1 = 827221821
    HAMLTN = 861957608
    NIAGAR = 933106071
    RMHLTH = 865288670
    COHPA = 871044031
    MCGILL = 636844772
    AHSOUT = 639741451
    HORZON = 630095514

  9. Hello, need a quick help with the if condition along with concatenate function.
    I have this data as mentioned below in column A. Now, wherever "AA" appears in column A, I want to concatenate the column A with F1 and wherever "XA" appears in column A, I want to concatenate the column A with F2. How could i do this?
    I am pasting the data from column A and also the output required in column B for your reference:
    Coumn A Column B
    AA,FS AA,FS,F1
    AA,FS
    AA,FS
    AA,FS
    XA,GP,FT XA,GP,FT,F2
    XA,GP,FT
    XA,GP,FT
    AA,GP,FS

  10. Hello,

    I`m looking for correct IF formula, would you please help me?

    Column B = M and F letters
    Column C = Numbers (60-90)
    Populate column G to return "Male Achiever" if Gender = M and the score in column C is > 95, "Female Achiever" if Gender = F and the score in column C is > 95, otherwise "None"

  11. I am looking to do an IF: when
    If this person is found
    I need to multiple the number hours worked by a set dollar
    I have multiple people i need to run this for.
    Can you help?
    Thank you

  12. I have a column with age in months and based on the age there are four things that can happen. I need another column that returns one of the four results "" below. I need help with a formula for how to do this. Here are the four criteria I need to incorporate:

    If 5 months and less then "waitlist"
    If 6 months to 30 months then "infant"
    If 31 months to 54 months then "toddler"
    If 55 months or more than "aged out".

    Can you help?

      1. Something in this formula is off. It gives the value of "aged out" for everything. I have a column with age in months - that the formula is pointing to. I cannot figure it out for the life of me.

        Thank you for any insight.

        1. I figured it out! I didn't need the part of the formula (DATEDIF) because I already had a column with that info. This was so helpful! Thank you

  13. Hi

    I have a data set with 3 columns and 100+ rows;
    Column A = Person, B = Value, C = Percentage

    I need to find a way to return the top 3 persons (Column A), this is based on the highest Value (B) and the highest percentage (C).

    What is the best way to do this??

    Thanks

  14. I am discombobulated. I hope u guys can help.
    I need to count the incentive but it has some certain condition.
    1. You need to see the on/off boarding date.
    2. You need to see the load/unloading date (of the cargo)
    3a. If a new hire joins before the load date, then they would get a 100% and the one who leaves, gets nothing.
    3b. If a new hire joins at the same day, then they would get 40%. The one who leaves, gets 60%.
    3c. If a new hire joins after the load date, but before the unload date, they would get 25%. The one who leaves, gets 75%
    3d. If a new hire joins right on or after the unload date, they get 0%. The one who leaves, gets a 100%.

    A B C X Y output-1 output-2
    30 9 12 4 2 ? ?
    24 12 8 2 3 ? ?

    any suggestion, how do i get output-1 & output-2 from data base by verifying different conditions given in Result range

    i have tried DGET() this works fine for 1st row of Result but not for rest of rows in Result range.

    Thanks

        2. Could someone plz help with the above question?

  17. I have a column of cells that say either "Buy", "Sell", "Hold".
    I'm looking for a formula that at the end of the column automatically populates which ever word populates the most in the column. Any help with a formula is appreciated!

    1. Hello!
      To find the most frequently occurring value in a range, use this array formula with the COUNTIF function.

      =INDEX(A1:A40, MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(A1:A40,A1:A40)), COUNTIF(A1:A40,A1:A40),0))

      This is an array formula and it needs to be entered via Ctrl + Shift + Enter, not just Enter.

  18. Dear Alexander Trifuntov, I hope you can help me
    I have the following data

    year condition
    A1 1991 B1 =IF((A1={1991,1994,1998}),1,0)
    A2 1992 B2 =IF((A2={1991,1994,1998}),1,0)
    A3 1993 .
    A4 1994 .
    A5 1995 .
    . . .
    A9 1999 B9 =IF((A9={1991,1994,1998}),1,0)
    A10 2000 B10 =IF((A10={1991,1994,1998}),1,0)

    I need that if the evaluated cell is equal to a group of values {1991,1994,1998}, I get 1, otherwise 0, I have tried with the AND/OR function and I have not been able to obtain the result I am looking for. Could you give me a hint on how to search with more than one criteria using the IF function?
    Thank you very much for your help.

      1. Thank you very much for your kind help! It works perfectly

  19. Hello i m hoping someone will help me with this formula

    I have 5 set of criteria data based this I m doing iferror vlookup in one shot same column then I found the results but I want to know results matched with which criteria out of 5 whether criteria 1 or 2 or 5 for this how to check in same formula.

    My formula is :

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AA3,Visa!AA:AA,1,0), IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AB3,Visa!AB:AB,1,0),
    IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AC3,Visa!AC:AC,1,0),
    IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AD3,Visa!AD:AD,1,0),
    VLOOKUP(AE3,Visa!AE:AE,1,0)))))

    1. Hi!
      An Excel formula cannot return 2 values at once - the search result and the criterion number. You can combine these values if that suits you.

      =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AA3,Visa!AA:AA,1,0)&"1", IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AB3,Visa!AB:AB,1,0)&"2",
      IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AC3,Visa!AC:AC,1,0)&"3",
      IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AD3,Visa!AD:AD,1,0)&"4",
      VLOOKUP(AE3,Visa!AE:AE,1,0)&"5"))))

  20. Hello,

    I do have an Excel Sheet with multiple tabs (For Hiring Process)

    I want to link the first tab (Manpower Requisitions) with the second tab (Applicant Tracker).

    whenever I mark in the first tab - against in any requisition that it is “closed”, it will reflect in the second tab against the candidate name that (joined).

    Which formula will be good for use?

      1. Hi I need help with my excel data sheet
        IF A1, B1, C1 10 then A4 will show “Not OK”
        Suppose if any of the cells is more than 10 even though the others two cells is less than 10 A4 will show “Not Ok”
        Please help…

        1. Hello!
          If an array is a logical test, it results in TRUE and FALSE values. You can convert them to 1 and 0 by using the double unary operator (--). Please see SUMPRODUCT function example for more details.

          =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:C1>10)) > 0,“Not Ok”,"")

          I hope it’ll be helpful.

  22. I am trying to write a formula. I have 3 cells that have either YES or NO, I need a formula to look at the 3 cells and return a value of 1 if only 1 out of 3 is a YES or 1.5 if 2 out of 3 are YES or 2 if all 3 are YES.

    YES
    YES
    YES
    =Would equal 2
    YES
    YES
    NO
    = Would equal 1.5
    YES

        1. Thanks for the information. Now I am able to fix it.

  24. I have been struggling with this formula for days. Thanks so much!

    I want to do a vlookup on another sheet first, if the data is not listed on the other sheet I want the data to be taken from another cell, however, if the cell selected is blank, then return with a text. This is what I have so far and it is not working.

    IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,'Cargoo New Shipments'!$B:$AD,29,FALSE)),E1,IF(E1="","Lookup ETA","Lookup ETA"))

    Lookup value from the other sheet first - VLOOKUP(A1,'Cargoo New Shipments'!$B:$AD,29,FALSE))
    If the data is not listed, then take the data from cell E1
    If cell E1 is "" (blank) then return with a text, "Lookup ETA"

    I hope this makes sense, thanks so much!!

    1. Hello!
      I recommend using the IFERROR function to handle the lookup error.
      I can't check the formula that contains unique references to your workbook worksheets.
      Here is an example formula. Change external links as you need

      =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,$B:$AD,29,FALSE),IF(E1="","Lookup ETA",E1))

  25. Hello,
    I have 5 conditions that result in the correct corresponding value - it's purpose is to evaluate a set of criteria to come up with the standard Budget $ amount - but none of the equations involve math functions.

    If A2=P2 and B2=Q1 then R50; OR if A2=P2 and B2=P2 then R51, ...this goes on for 5 conditions (meaning B2=Q1 through Q5 each resulting in a value in R50 through R55.

    The values in A2 are words. They are not calculating numbers but just the reasoning of the association of values selected from a drop down box

    I hope that makes sense!

    Thanks for your help - I looked through the instructions but didn't see something exactly like this and I can't seem to get the OR OR OR OR OR right!

  26. Can you help me write a formula? Essentially, I want the formula to look at a data set 1 to extract the last transaction (date essentially). If data set 1, does not have the required data (maybe the last transaction happened between a different date range), I then want the formula to look at the second data set for the nearest transaction date.

    1. Hello!
      To find the maximum value in a date range, use the recommendations and examples in this article: Excel INDEX MATCH with multiple criteria.
      If the desired value is not found, use the IFNA function to search in a different range. Here's an example of a formula:

      =IFNA(INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(1,(MAX(A1:A10)=A1:A10)*(A1:A10 > E1)*(A1:A10 < F1),0)),INDEX(C1:C10,MATCH(1,(MAX(C1:C10)=C1:C10)*(C1:C10 > E1)*(C1:C10 < F1),0)))

      I hope I answered your question. If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.

  27. I want to see if the below formula is correct
    IF(J42="Station with 3 Teams (All 3 Team)",IF(OR(Y42>=100%,AE42>=100%,AK42>=100%),Inputs!$L$24,IF(J42="Station with 3 Teams (All 3 Team)",IF(AND(Y42>=100%,AE42>=100%,AK42>=100%),Inputs!$L$25,Inputs!$L$27))))

    1. Hi!
      I don't know what data you are using and what result you want to get. I can't check the formula that contains unique references to your workbook worksheets, sorry.

  28. Hello,

    I'm looking to add criteria to the following COUNTIF formula. I use this formula [=(COUNTIF($A$2:[@ColumnA],[@ColumnA)=1)+0] to identify unique values. It returns a 1 the first time a unique value appears in the cell referenced and 0 every time that value is repeated. It is meant to assign a 1 or 0 to each row in a table. Where it says "ColumnA" the name of the column referenced appears. As you can see all references are to the same column and cell.

    I need to add criteria to this equation. Ideally the equation would recognize the cell in another column and consider it if it says "Yes", not consider it if it says "No." The final result would be an output of 1 if one cell says "yes" and another has a unique value. If the cell says "No" OR if the value is not unique, the equation would return a 0.

    Any idea on how to do this?

    Thank you!

  29. Good evening,
    I need your help. Is there a formula for this statement in excel?
    The value of a cell is 15 less than the value cell of any other cells. If true, change to color of that cell.
    A1=10 B1=15 C1=20 D1=26
    The formula should return with cell A1 to highlight a different color, since A1 is the only one that is 15 less than any other cells (D1).
    Thanks in advanced

      1. Wow!!!
        Thank you so much.

  30. Hi I am trying to create an inventory sheet. I have three different lumber companies I'd like to track. I also have 22 different lumber types each from these different companies. Each company has their own price based on the lumber type. The formula I would like to create is one where I can enter the company name and the lumber type and it automatically picks up the price. I have already been able to do a simplistic version of this by setting only two logical tests and the true value but is it possible to create a formula that would encompass all these variations? Thank you in advance.

  31. If a1=$200.35 and b2=agree give me “paid in full”

  32. I'm trying to figure out how to create a formula that will review whether 3 of 4 conditions are present, and return a value of "Yes" or "No."

    Ex*. The presence of 3 of the following 4 criteria must be met: (*not actual clinical diagnostic info; just an idea of what I'm looking for)

    1. Persistent anxiety about topic: Yes (Yes or No will be derived from a Questions sheet, with an IF formula [to obtain information from multiple cells] or = formula)
    2. Persistent problems with sleep: No
    3. Distressing nightmares: No
    4. Lack of enjoyment in activities: Yes

    In this case, the formula would return "No," as the client doesn't meet at least 3 of the 4 criteria. But if 3 of the 4 were answered Yes, then it would return a "Yes."

    Not sure if I'm overthinking this as it's late, or if I'm just stuck here. Thanks!

      1. I may have thanked you too soon. I didn't mention in my example that the cells are not in a range. For example, there are cells (with further questioning to give a "yes" or "no" answer to the headings; i.e 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 3a...). Is there a way to do this without the range? I've tried a few different things, but it doesn't seem to be working.

      2. OMGosh! You're a life and time saver!! Thank you! I was thinking it was going to take all kinds of nested IF formula's! LOL.

  33. I have a problem too :) I have 30 cells and some of them are not numbers but "GO". As a result, I want Excel to summarise every "GO" as number 8 at the end. So, if I have 3 "GO" in this 30 cells, result I expect should be 24. Thank you :)

      1. You are a genius :) Thank you. I already understand better how this actually works. COUNTIF helped me for my problem. Thanks again

  34. Hi, I am trying to work out a problem with nested IF functions. I have the following table which i need to return values on based on the number in a cell see below. I have got all the way up to >250 with nested IF functions but need another formula to work out the problem for every 100 greater than 250 add the relevant amount. e.g. 450 = 7.

    1-50= 1
    51-100= 2
    101-150= 3
    151-200= 4
    201-250= 5
    >250= Add 1 per 100

    Here is the formula i have so far: =IF(B7=51,B7=101,B7=151,B7=201,B7=251,B7=351,"7",0)))))))

    Is this something you could help with?

  35. Can someone please help with providing a formula for the below problem:

    If C2 is <=500000 then C2*1.6%
    If C2 is <=1500000 then 500000*1.6% + the remaining value * 1.78%
    If C2 is <=3000000 then 500000*1.6% + 1000000*1.78% + the remaining value * 3.25%

    I have the first two conditions satisfied as mentioned below but cannot figure out the 3rd condition.

    =IF(C2<=500000,C2*1.6%,IF(C2<=1500000,((500000*1.6%)+((C2-500000)*1.78%))))

  41. Hey Guys,

    I am trying to set up an automatic status formula where if I put data in the cells that require action, then status cell would say "closed". Otherwise, it would say "open" if any of the required cells needing data dont have anything. For example, I am trying to say =IF(ISTEXT(E1,E2,E3,E4)),"CLOSED",OPEN") Is this something possible to do? I keep getting the error message no mater what way I do it.

  42. Hi guys!

    I have a struggles to make the formula to check the schedules in the way that there can not be more than 6 working days in a row. The biggest problem is probably a format which is:

    06:00-14:30 09:00-17:30 sl. 15:30-24:00 15:30-24:00 15:30-24:00 sl.

    06:00-14:30 are the formats of the shifts and sl. are free days. How to make the formula to find the mistakes if there is more than 6 shifts in a row?

    Thank youu :)

    1. Hello!
      The formula returns TRUE if there are 7 consecutive business days in the range of cells.

      =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("1111111",CONCAT((--(A1:Z1<>"sl.")))))

      The results of the comparison are combined into a string using the CONCAT function. The number 1 corresponds to the working day.

  43. Hello,

    I'm looking for TAT formula . there are 3 stages sales bucket ,credit bucket and disbursement bucket .

    i want cal TAT and if i change the status it should to go the previous bucket. from there it should again cal the TAT

    1. Hello,
      I've looked through the blog and the posts and cannot find an answer, so I appreciate any help you can give.

      On my sheet, there is one column (A) that has one of 3 different categories- Urgent, Non-urgent, For awareness.

      A second column (C) contains the number of minutes that it took to respond to the above categories.

      SLA is 15 mins for Urgent, 30 mins for Non-urgent, and 45 mins for For Awareness.

      I am trying to calculate whether the response time meets the service level agreement.

      Here's the formula that I wrote, but it only works for the Urgent SLA evaluation:

      =IF(AND(A3="Urgent", C3<=15, AND(A3="Non-urgent", C3<=30), AND(A3="FYSA", C3<=45)), "YES", "NO")

      Would you please explain how I can correct this?

      Thank you.

  44. Hi all,

    I am struggling to create a formula that will only show the date increased by 28 days if the cell has a value

    so,

    G4 has 16/05/2022 + 28 days (=SUM($G4+28) showing H4 - 13/06/2022

    but if G5 is empty, the H4 should remain empty

  45. Hi, I would like to know how to use the IF statement in the below situation

    If value of Column A in Sheet 1 matches a value in Column A of Sheet 2 then print a statement ex "True".

    TIA.

    Ps: Anyother function than IF is also welcome.

  46. Hi I need help with a formula to see if this is possible.
    I want to have A1>5 it is Yes, if A1<5, then it is NO and if A1 id empty or blank then it should be left blank,

    I tried using : =IF(A1<5,"NO",OR IF(ISBLANK(A1),"BLANK", "")))
    But it returns with NO even when A1 cell is empty instead of returning as blank

    1. =IF(ISBLANK(A5),"",IF(A5<5,"NO","YES"))

      1. Sorry I used A5 instead of A1. The formula still holds true though. Just a note though, if the cell contains anything other than blank or 0-5 it will say "YES".
        If a cell contained "a" the result would be YES

  47. I am trying change the value of a cell based on another value depending on if it is a multiple of a specific number.

    So, I want C1 to change to "1" if G1 is a multiple of 8. And to "0" if G1 is not a multiple of 8

    Not sure if anybody has commented this before but I have spent hours trying to figure it out.

    1. Hello!
      If the remainder of the division of numbers is zero, then the first number is a multiple of the second. You can determine the remainder of a division using the MOD function.
      Please try the following formula:

      =IF(MOD(G1,8)=0,1,0)

  48. Hi, I have a problem with the formulas I am using for an analysis.

    I have made a drop down, with 4 options:
    1.) 0-2
    2.) 3-6
    3.) 7-10
    4.) 11+

    I have also made a short table where this option got a value to calculate with:
    0-2 = 5
    3-6 = 10
    7-10= 15
    11+ = 20

    To calculate I use the formula: =LOOKUP(Cell of the option 1 to 4; {"0 to 2";"3 to 6";"7 to 10";"11+"};{5;10;15;20})

    This is going good untill i need the vallue of the last option 4 (11+), because it shows the value 5, and it has to be 20.

    What am I going wrong in the formula?
    Or do I need to use an IF formula?

    1. Hello!
      The second argument to the LOOKUP function, [Lookup_vector], must be sorted in ascending order. Your formula doesn't have it. The fourth value is less than the third.
      You can learn more about LOOKUP syntax in Excel in this article on our blog.

  49. Hi I need some help with IF statements,

    Im using the following formula which so far works great but not sure if what I want to happen can actually work.
    =IF(Y17="A","Awesome job.",IF(Y17="B","great work")) ect. all the way through to F.

    however I want it to try and give more than one option to pick from as I am doing this for a lot of kids and what different options. For example if they get an A randomly pick out of 3 different comments for example "awesome job" or "Amazing" or "Fantastic work". can I have this many options? even a choice of 2 options would be great.

    Also I have the example comments written in example Cell C21-C24. Can I get it to pick and copy one of those 3 cells instead of typing out the whole text comment I want?

    1. Hello!
      Use the RANDBETWEEN function to generate random numbers for selection.
      You can select values in a formula using the CHOOSE function.
      Or, randomly select a cell address using the INDIRECT function.

      =IF(Y17="A",CHOOSE(RANDBETWEEN(1,3),"awesome job","Amazing","Fantastic work"),"")
      or
      =IF(Y17="A",INDIRECT("C2"&RANDBETWEEN(1,4)),"")

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

  50. Could you help me to write a formula for IF B2 is YES, then it should consider the data present in A2,if B2 is No, then it should be blank

      1. No,I Could not find answer in the mentioned link. Kindly help me on the below
        Example:In A2 column document number has given, In B2 cell if document is closed then closed date has mentioned, If document is open then cell is blank, In C2 cell if document is in closed status (date updated)mentioned as YES if it’s open (B2 is blank) C2 shows as No.
        Now I need the formula for D2 cell, if C2 is yes then it should consider the date which is mentioned in B2, if C2 is no then D2 cell should be blank.

        1. Hi!
          Both of these formulas match your conditions:

          =IF(C2="Yes",B2,IF(C2="No","",""))

          =IF(C2="Yes",B2,"")

          1. Perfect! It’s working thank you so much ☺️
