  1. Im trying to maka a table that has this conditions
    percentage A B C
    100% 200 180 150
    95-99% 170 150 120
    90-94% 150 120 90
    85-89% 120 90 60
    80-84% 50 20 0
    79% and below 0 0 0

    How can easily get results from this table when i encode class and percentage
    class percentage result
    Person 1 A 93% _______

    Result shoudl be 150

    1. Hello Angela!
      If I understand your task correctly, the following tutorial should help: INDEX MATCH MATCH to search in rows and columns.
      However, you can't search for the number 93 in column A because it is text, not numbers.
      If you write a value of 100, 99, 94, 89, 84, 79 in column A, you can use a formula like this:

      =INDEX(B2:D6, MATCH(G1,A2:A6,-1), MATCH(G2,B1:D1,0))

      You can learn more about MATCH function in this article on our blog: Excel MATCH function with formula examples.
      This should solve your task.

  2. Hi everybody, I have a question. Suppose if in an office the cut-off time is 9:00 am. If a staff entered office at 9:00 AM he will be marked "on time" in attendance sheet. but he entered at 9:05 AM, he will be marked "LATE". But if some one is on leave, how to formulate this in the attendance sheet with the two conditions mentioned before?

  3. Hi, i have a problem in excel formula.
    If, -528 less -590 / -590 = 62
    i want the result in percentage with positive sign instead of negative.

    Thanks.

  4. I am trying to create an if formula. I have 10 questions on column A. Column B I have yes and no for each of the 10 questions. On column C, I need to create a formula that if all the questions are "yes", 40%, if there is a no, it should be 0. Can you help me?

  5. Hello. I need formula to check if the item in the this tab, can be find in the other tab. Result will be yes or no

  6. I need help with a formula that where the value in B4 is multiplied by either rates in (C2,D2,E2) if it is greater than a range of specific cells (C1, D1, E1). Example if B4=45, total will be 225.00 (C1*C2). Thank you.

    C1:45
    C2:5.00
    D1:100
    D2:4.00
    E1:300
    E2:2.00

    B4: 45

    B8: total

      1. Thank you for your reply but it isn't calculating the way I would like it to. The formula provided is adding the cells with 5.25 and 5.00 then multiplying cell B4 which isn't correct. The output i'm looking for is that B4 would be multiplied 5.00 since it is greater than 100. Hopefully this is much clearer, thank you.

        45 100 300 500 1000
        5.25 5.00 4.95 4.90 4.80

        B4: 105

        B5: TOTAL

        1. Hi! The formula I sent to you was created based on the description you provided in your first request. However, as far as I can see from your second comment, your task is now different from the original one.
          If I understand correctly, find the maximum number that is less than B4 using the MAX function and MATCH function. Then extract the corresponding value from the range C2:E2 using INDEX MATCH.

          =INDEX(C2:E2,MATCH(MAX((C1:E1

          1. I apologize for not explaining it clearly. I used the formula but it says I'm missing a parenthesis. Also, where would I enter B4 in the formula?

            1. Please disregard as I don't think it can be done.

    2. Sorry total will be 225.00 (B4*C2) not C1.

  7. Hi. Can you please help for IF/THEN.

    IF A1=X1, then show what is in cell Z1.

    1. Disregard.. I figured it out.

  8. Hi, I have values in two coloums i.e. in row 1, the value is in Col A and from row 2 to 10, the value is in Col B. Which formula can be used to call the required values from both Col A and B and return the value in Col C. Thanks.

    1. Hi! It is impossible to guess how you want to call required values. You can use the VLOOKUP formula to search multiple columns as described in this article. You can also combine multiple columns into a single column using the VSTACK function. There may be other solutions depending on what you want to do.

      1. Hello, Alex! I have two lists; an authorized user list and a transaction list. On the transaction list, it gives the name of who authorized the transaction. I already completed a VLOOKUP to have the authorized user's name next to the user who authorized the transaction. Now, I need to filter the data to show unauthorized transactions. I was thinking an easy IF statement would be the answer, but the wall I am hitting is stumping me. The names on the authorized user list have a couple names of who has authorization.
        Example: (A3)Authorized: Hayes, (B3)Authorizer: Hayes/Lopez.
        As you can see, Hayes is on the authorized list so he should be fine. My If statement is =IF(A3=B3,"Authorized","Unauthorized"). It seems the = is only giving me an EXACT match. Is there a way I can make the IF statement work?

        1. Hi! If I understand the question correctly, you want to determine if the text strings in cells A3 and B3 are partial matched. Based on the information provided, the formula could look like this:

          =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A3,B3)),"Authorized","Unauthorized")

          For more information, please read: How to find substring in Excel

      2. Thank you for your prompt response

  9. Good Day,

    I have prepared a salary sheet with dates in a row and name of employee in the column, I want to get the total sum of salary Only of Today() (everyday in the same cell)
    =IF(T10="P", ((G10*1)+(U10*(G10/9))), "0") then sum of all the employees but this works only on one day.

    how may I automate it, please.

  10. Hi
    Newbie question sorry....I have a column containing a number of text names equating to project status. As follows: onboarding, offboarding, leaving etc... (With a different designated numerical value to each)

    I.e Onboarding 5, Offboarding 3, Leaving 1 etc

    I would like to create an IF statement as a form of lookup to check the text name in the column against the list/values and display said value in a new column. I am wondering if this is the best way to do this? have started with the following..... =IF(E2="onboarding","5") .... but am wondering how to add the other names and values... and if this is actually possible?

    Again, a new user so scrabbling about without a lot of time to study the options...

    Any suggestions welcome.

  11. Hi, i need to separate a mix column similar to this one. into 3 columns, (name, date, yes/no).
    Column is
    first, last
    11/27/2023

    11/28/2023
    Unapproved
    Unapproved
    Unapproved
    12/6/2023

    b, d
    12/1/2023
    Unapproved
    Unapproved
    12/2/2023
    Unapproved
    Unapproved

    needs to look something like this
    first, last 11/27/2023 unapproved
    first, last 11/28/2023 unapproved
    first last 11/28/2023 unapproved
    first last 11/28/2023 unapproved
    first last 12/6/2023 unapproved
    b, d 12/1/2023 Unapproved
    b, d 12/1/2023 Unapproved
    b, d 12/2/2023 Unapproved
    b, d 12/2/2023 Unapproved

    1. Hi! Unfortunately your data has no one pattern or regularity. Looks like this is not possible with the standard Excel options.

      1. Could you write three individual loops/statement in three different columns and the final condition is blank for the rows for the name and the date but in the row for the unapproved/approve in it. that row will place the name-date-condition??

        I have stated trying to solve this: =IF(A10="Unapproved", "Unapproved", "")

  12. Hi, i need to use the IF function for a total score of more than 45 but less than 55 and a total score of more than 55 but less than 60

  13. I have 5 sell prices for each item in excel and I need to write an IF statement to see if they all match. Can you help?

  14. Hi, I need to write an IF statement for a column in which I already have some values which need to remain unchanged if the corresponding cell in the C column reads 'TRUE'. However, if the coresponding cell in the C column reads 'FALSE', then the cell must return 'NULL'. e.g C2 contains 'FALSE', therefore D2 will write 'NULL'. However, C4 contains 'TRUE', therefore the existing number in D4 '0.29' should remain unchanged. I can't find any logic which allows me to do this? The examples given use "" which returns a blank cell.

    1. Hi! An Excel formula can only return a value to the cell in which it is written, and it cannot return a value to another cell. A previously written value in a cell cannot be changed by an Excel formula. This can be done with VBA. For example, you can use a formula in the E column to either set the value to NULL or to get the value from the C column. For example:

      =IF(C2=FALSE,"NULL",D2)

  15. Thank you Alexander for this wonderful tutorial
    Your help is needed;

    From this excel function, IF(W54<20,0,IF(W54<31,2,IF(W54<51,4,IF(W54<76,6,IF(W54<100,7,IF(W54=100,8,0))))))
    I need your help with inserting a multiplicator into the IF function above to return values for 370, 400, 650, 275 and 914
    Is it possible to insert a multiplier to auto calculate up to a 1000 from the base IF function at the top?
    Thank you

    1. Hi! If I understand your question correctly: Instead of cell W54, you can use the cell range W54:W58 in the formula, where these five numbers will be written. The result will be an array of values.

  16. i am Looking for a formula pls

    If C1 contain the text "Clarke", the value in C2 must be auto copied to C3. Is this possible?

    1. =IF(C1="Clarke",C3=C2,"") something like that. the end " " is a place holder, it depends on what you want to do if C1 doesnt = clarke

      1. Read carefully how to use the IF function. Your formula is not correct. Just write formula IF(C1="Clarke",C2,"") in cell C3.

  17. How can I protect a formula in a field with a drop-down list aswell. Basically by IF/AND formula answers the value of "Not applicable" if the two preceding columns are both answered as "No", but if either of the two preceding columns have a "Yes", then I need people to be able to pick an option from the drop-down list, whichever is appropriate, but when you do, it wipes out the IF formula, so if the person entering data realise that maybe this miss-entered the values on the two preceding columns and it is actually both meant to be "No", then I want the IF formula to kick in and answer "Not applicable", but it won't because once you've selected something for the drop-down list, the formula is lost. not sure if I'm asking for too much, but thought I'd give it a go, maybe you have an easy solution.
    Thanks,

    1. Hello! A drop-down list writes a text value into a cell. When it does this, it clears all the previous contents of the cell. Using VBA, you can try to create a dropdown list if certain conditions are met. In this case, if the conditions are not met, the drop-down list does not exist.

  18. Hi, I hope you can help, in need of the following. A1 Date of Hire
    A2 Date of Term
    A3 calculate 12 months from A1 but if A2 has a date A3 would remain blank. (Using date driven for FMLA eligibility)
    A4 to show 480 hrs if A3 is 12 months from A1 as of todays date

    I hope I’ve explained it properly.

    1. Hi! I hope you have studied the recommendations in the tutorial above. It contains answers to your questions.
      To add 12 months to a date, use these instructions: Add months to date in Excel. For example:

      =IF(ISBLANK(A2),DATE(YEAR(A1), MONTH(A1) + 12, DAY(A1)),"")

      1. Thank you, I truly appreciate your help and knowledge.
        I should have mentioned that I am using seveal worksheets with vlookup to bring or have data follow.
        The DOH and TERM are vlookup, here is my formula that those cells have:
        =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A11,'Sheet1'!$A$3:$AI$335,9,FALSE)),"",IF(LEN(VLOOKUP(A11,'Sheet1'!$A$3:$AI$335,9,FALSE))=0,"",VLOOKUP(A11,'Sheet1'!$A$3:$AI$335,9,0)))

        The recommendation doesn't work with ISBLANK when there is a formula? Unless I'm missing it?

        2. Oh, I'm sure I'm making this more complicated than I should :)

          1. Took your advice and re-read the tutorial..
            My answer: =IF($G22"", "Term", EDATE(F22,12))

            THANK YOU!!!

  19. I need to automate the cells using IF function
    For example : I have client and environment and DB instance details in separate excel, so based on client and environment it should tell us what should be the (it should automatically pick) DB instance name in excel
    Client : ball
    Environment : dev
    DB instance name : ?

  20. If My Value falls

    Up to $10000 apply 2.5%
    $10000 - $25000 apply 2.25%
    $25001 - $50000 apply 2%
    $50001 - $100000 apply 1.75%
    $100001 - $200000 apply 1.25%
    $200001 - $500000 apply 1%
    Greter than $500000 apply .75%

    How to write excel query?

  21. HI ,
    I want to calculate Gratuity for the employees in the company and i have the difference between the joining date and the last day working day as a value to check it and implement into 4 Columns (options) , first column if the (value >=365 and less than 1095) , second column if the value >= 1095 and less than 1825 , third column if value >=1825 then till 1825 will be calculated in third column and more than 1825 will be calculated in fourth column , the major idea from the two comparisons for each to avoid the duplicate of the values in the other columns if we consider value 1850 >=365 for example will be calculated in all 4 columns .

    Thanks in advance .

      1. Thanks for your assistance . it was very helpful .

  22. how do I make a formula that is like the match formula but instead of it saying match and don't match it would be a certain color like if it doesn't match then it would stay white but if it did match then it would be red

  23. I am comparing if 2 cells (text) match, if they match, then I copy the value from another cell that is a text, if not, just write "Input information".
    This is the formula that I am writing:
    =(EXACT(A2,B2),D2,"Input information")

    When I press enter it shows me the equation instead of the options.
    When I go to "Evaluate Formula" in the Formula menu, the message says: The cell currently being evaluated contains a constant.
    Columns A, B are formatted as General and column D as Text.

  24. Hi there, New to learn formula's on my own and looking for some help.

  25. Hello People,
    Please help me with the below query

    Suppose I have 4 Remarks column have different remarks

    Col D - RNR
    Col G - Interested
    Col V - Payment not processed
    Col W - Onboarded

    How do i get the latest remarks in Col Z - I.e. Onboarded.

    1. If Cell L2, Cell R2, Cell W2, Cell AB2 & Cell AG2 has a remarks, the latest remark should show in Column AM

      1. If Cell L2 = RNR
        Cell R2= Call Back
        Cell W2=Disconnected
        Cell AB2=Network Issue
        Cell AG2=Interested

        the latest remark should show in Cell AM as Interested

        Example 2
        If Cell L2 = RNR
        Cell R2= Call Back
        Cell W2=Disconnected
        Cell AB2=Blank Cell
        Cell AG2=Blank Cell
        the latest remark should show in Cell AM as Disconnected

  26. Hi, I have different city names and I want to group it in different state by using IF function - pls support

  28. I currently have this formula:

    =IF(B1601<0,"Currently Overspending by $"&IF(B1601<0,ROUND(SUM(B1601*-1),2),ROUND(B1601,2)) &"!","Can Contribute $"&ROUND(B1601,2) &" to Savings.")

    I was wondering if and how a different text format can be passed for the Value? For example I would like the "true" value to be red and bold and the "False" value to be blue and bold.

  29. Greetings. I am a 4th-grade teacher working on a data tracking spreadsheet and cannot figure out how to get the data I desire from two columns into the third column.

    Column C will have a student's test score (either a 1, 2, 3, or 4). Column D will have the student's retake test score (either a 1, 2, 3, 4, or it will be left blank because he or she did not need to take the retake). Currently, I am using the formula below to show the score change for a student's test in Column E:

    =IF(C5"",C5-D5,"")*(-1)

    I am looking to see data in the following manner:
    1) If there is data in Column C and in Column D, I want to show the data change in Column E
    - if the score goes up from a 1 to a 3, Column E would show a 2 (and of course any variation of a score increase would be represented)
    - if the score goes down from a 4 to a 3, Column E would show a -1 (and of course any variation of a score decrease would be represented)
    2) If there is data in Column C but not in Column D, I do not want data to show in Column E
    - if a student's data in Column C is 3 and there is no data in Column D (they did not take the retake test), I do not want anything to show in Column E

    I cannot wrap my head around how to get this done and have had great success with assistance on this Blog. For someone that understands the ins and outs of functions, my guess is this will not be too difficult, but for me, I am stumped. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  30. How i can i calculate time used for to supply order ?
    For example:
    Distributor delivery order between 07am and 4PM (Agreed time), and he received order 11h10am on November 28 and deliver order on 14pm on November 29 2023,

  31. its a great tutorial but unfortunately I have problem and I couldn't fix it yet. I want to convert cells(in a column) to another thing(first column is 1" , 2" , 3" and etc. and second column should be 1 mm , 2 mm , 3 mm) but i have a problem, since the first column has double quotation the excel fails to proceed.
    P.S: I use this formula like this : IF(A1="1""), "1 mm", "")

  32. I have to create a rating system in excel. For example, if 2 or more ratings are listed as "marginal", then the final rating is marginal. If there is one marginal, but the other ratings are satisfactory then the rating is satisfactory. How do I make that into an excel formula?

  33. Hi,
    I have a 25 rows (e.g., F2:AD2). Some of the cells in these rows contain a specific text, while the rest are empty. I need a formula which can extract the cell number of the rows that contain the specific text.
    for example, if N2 and Z2 has the specific text, i want the formula to return "N2, Z2". I used IFS and it only returns the first true value and omits the rest.
    How do i get it done?

    Many thanks.

  34. hi i dont know what formula will i use
    "55+0= 0 or blank"
    if the value in column b is 55 and column c is 0 i would like to see it blank in column d or show it as 0 value but if i input value in column c operations should be done on column d (55*1=55) hope you get my point

    1. Hi! I hope you have studied the recommendations in the tutorial above. For example,

      =IF(AND(B1=55,C1=0),0,B1*C1)
      or
      =B1*C1

  35. Hello!in sheet1 from column A - K are all occupied,in column G there are mixture up trucks registrations numbers of 3 different countries,i need to maintain that column but link every country registration number to go to different sheet depending on first letter of the registration

  36. Greetings, I am trying to complete a trip sheet / logbook. In column "I" there is an address, in column "H" it should be the name of the business visited. I am not sure if possible to nest 138(unique paired) IF or IFS based on text. The address is text and it should return a text. Also the must be a "else" for any unknown address. If there is a limit on nesting how many can be nested?
    The entire worksheet is over 2000 lines so to copy a formula would make things easy.

    Thank you so very much for any help.

      1. Greetings
        My formula has a syntax problem.
        =VLOOKUP(G14, lookup!$A$1:$B$127)
        =VLOOKUP(G14, lookup!$A$1:$B$127, 2 0)
        =VLOOKUP(G14, $lookup.A1:B127)

        Column G contains the address.
        I have tried this in column F and H and neither is working.
        The main sheet is where I am trying to the formula.
        lookup is a sheet on the same workbook as the main.
        Column A contains address
        Column B contains a name that matches A

        Thank you.

  37. Hi just trying to get a formula for:
    if a sheet of data with names and numbers. a specific name "Steve" and to locate his name in a seperate sheet and add up his expenses for the month of january please,

    its probably simple im just confusing myself

  38. I'm using a formula "=TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,IFERROR((MID(C39,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(C39))),1)*1),""))" to copy numeric contents of a cell to another cell, now I would like to modify it to the same but only if it is 9 digits or more if it is less than 9 digits to copy the complete cell

    1. Hi! If I understand correctly, use the LEN function to find the length of the text string that TEXTJOIN returns.

      =IF(LEN(TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,IFERROR((MID(C39,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(C39))),1)*1),"")))>9, C39, TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,IFERROR((MID(C39,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(C39))),1)*1),"")))

  39. Please help to create an If statement formula identifying the Peak (P) and Off peak (OP) in the time of a day with the following conditions:
    Peak (P) - from 0801H - 2100H Mon-Sat and 1801H-2100H during Sundays and holidays
    Off Peak (OP) - from 2101H-0800H Mon-Sat and 2101H-1800H during Sundays and holidays
    Tried so many formulas but returns a #value. 26/12/2022 12:05:00 am is the date-time format reference that Iam using.
    Thank you.

    1. Hi! To get the day of the week, use the WEEKDAY function. Since time in Excel is the fractional part of the date, get this fractional part by subtracting the integer part from the date using the INT function.

      =IF(OR(AND(WEEKDAY(D1,2)<7, (D1-INT(D1))>TIME(8,0,0), (D1-INT(D1))<TIME(21,0,0)), AND(WEEKDAY(D1,2)=7, (D1-INT(D1))>TIME(18,0,0), (D1-INT(D1))<TIME(21,0,0))),"P","OP")

  40. helloo Dear Alexander

    I need a function a liittle unusual. just wanted to ask you to help me.
    Let Jump to an example:
    =IF(Condition = TRue, condition1, get data from user)

    in other word If condition is True do an affair an calculation, but if is not true, get as data entry.

    would you please to help me if there is a way to do this?

    Thanks alot.

    1. Hi! What does the “get data from user” phrase mean? If you want to get data using an external reference, specify it in the IF formula. If you want to get data for multiple cells or a table, use VBA.

  41. Hello!in sheet1 from column A - K are all occupied,in column G there are mixture up trucks registrations numbers of 3 different countries,i need to maintain that column but link every country registration number to go to different sheet depending on first letter of the registration

  42. Hi,
    Can i use if formula "Monthly data same date if there is same name is enter double then it should be highlighted "i dont want to filter and check each date if the name is double entry or not

      1. My concern is I have a data with many names and different date's

        A with name and B with date

        Cell "A " if the name is entered 2 times on the same date .
        example: name John - 1st oct 2022 is OK ,should not be there again in the same date .

        i need a formula to confirm there is no double entry on the same date

  43. Can I return a number and a text value? I am trying to get the value in the cell with the IF statement to display the numerical difference between two cells and also say Under or Over. For context, I want it to subtract an estimated budget with an actual budget and then return the value saying how much the difference is and if it is over or under budget in the same cell. Is this possible?

  44. Hi
    How to write this formula:
    If cell B4 is >1 or =15 then B5=1
    If cell B4 is <15 but < 30 then B5=2
    If cell B4 is 305 but < 45 then B5=3

    Ihave been trying to use IF(AND/ OR but I am not getting it write.

  45. Mohonbantuan untukrumusnya

    mohon bantuannya, trus cara aturnya gimana.
    terimasaik,

    1. I want the numbers to showi the first column automatically, as i enter the names or items in the next column. How can i do that? I remember something like: =if(b2=???, row-1, ""), but cannot remember the exact formula.
      Thanks in advance

      1. Hi! I don't know what numbers you want to display. You can get the row number by using the ROW function. Check for an empty cell using the ISBLANK function or the <>"" expression. For example:

        =IF(NOT(ISBLANK(B2)),ROW(B2),"")
        =IF(B2<>"",ROW(B2),"")

  46. Hi there!
    Loved using this for my basic data entry but now i have a super complicated entry! (in my mind at least)

    I have multiple entries containing different "finishes" eg Black 16mm in A B C D E
    I need a cell to basically run a bunch of formulas and add text where the values are matching
    for example i have a black 16mm board but i have 5 different finishes for this board - we'll call them A, B, C, D, E
    Can I get a single cell formula to basically look at all these values (A-E) and spit out the value i need like "Black 16mm C"

    I currently have a formula saying if "A" then TEXT, if not ATTENTION but having to do this for many seperate values is time consuming!

  47. I compare values in two columns of a row and using ÍF" condition I confirms whether they are same.
    But , even ifthe values are same, the Ïf"condition formula returns "False" in certain cases( not in all cases).Why it is so?

  48. I need to write a formula that states if a values multiplied by another value plus a value divided by 2 is less than a value in a cell it will equal that number in the cell plus 1

    1. I hope you have studied the recommendations in the tutorial above. It contains answers to your question.

  49. Help. Can you help me with a formula for this scenario:

    If a number is between 40,000-83,999 the multiply that number by 15% or 8,399, whichever is less, if a number is between 84,000-124000 then multiply that number by 10% or 9,999, which is less...

    Thank you so much if you can help me with this.

  50. This is a fantastic resource. I am diving into making better spreadsheets at work, and already enjoying conditional logic built into Excel even though we are using MS Excel 2010.

    I have a spreadsheet that I have made for job numbers. I have a "due date" in Column Cell D3 which is using icon sets to place a red circle icon and second condition for the same cell to have format of the cell shaded red. This works well for a visual of when the date has reached and is now expired, the visual is perfect.

    However, I have another column with "Completed date" which is a manual entry in column Cell K3. I would like that when we add a date in K3, this is a trigger to change the icon set to use a green tick icon, and then change the shading of the background to green.

    I cannot work out the conditional logic for this scenario.

    Many thanks

    1. Hi! Create a conditional formatting formula, where you use the logical AND function to combine the conditions for cells D3 and K3.
      The formula might look like this:

      =AND([conditions for Cell D3],(ISNONTEXT(K3),K3>0)
