Comments on: How to use IF function in Excel: examples for text, numbers, dates, blanks

IF is one of the most popular and useful functions in Excel. Generally, 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. Continue reading →

  1. I have an excel sheet I am working on and can't figure out the formula to use.
    So I have column G "Procedure Type" (Example: XXX, YYY, ZZZ) and column L Start date. If Coumn G is XXX, I need it to calculate how many cells in column L has a date (not counting the blank cells).

  2. Seeking help on how to assign formula if you have a range of variables

    For example

    If the cell contains 0, then the result should be 0
    If the cell contains Nos 1 - 5, then the result should be A
    If the cell contains Nos 6 - 10, then the result should be B
    If the cell contains Nos 11 - 15, then the result should be C
    ....

  3. I work in a Coffee plantations where our estates are coded in the following format:
    "EAPCPK51" - The first three letters denote the estate name, "EAP", the second three letters denote the division name, "CPK" and finally the number denotes the block number. How do I decode these codes into three columns namely, estate, division and block number. Is there a formula for this?

  4. I'm building an attendance tracker where several conditions must be met.
    Cell B4 - Duration >4.00 or <4.00
    Cell C4 - Reason = Illness/Injury, Family Emergency, Other
    Cell D4 - Excused/Unexcused = Unexcused
    Cell E4 - IF B4 is greater than 4.00 and all other conditions are met, result is be 1.00; IF B4 is less than 4.00 and all other conditions are met, result is 0.50; IF D4=Excused (regardless of other conditions), result is 0.00

      1. Correction...here is the formula I used... Still getting tripped up somewhere.
        =IF(AND(B4>=4.00), (c4="Illness/Injury","Family Emergency","Other"), (D4="Unexcused"), "1.00", IF(AND(B4<4.00), (c4="Illness/Injury","Family Emergency","Other"), (D4="Unexcused"), "0.50")))

        1. Hi!If one of several conditions is true, I recommend using IF OR statement. For example

          =IF(AND(B4>=4,OR(C4="Illness/Injury",C4="Family Emergency",C4="Other"),D4="Unexcused"), "1.00", IF(AND(B4<4,OR(C4="Illness/Injury",C4="Family Emergency",C4="Other"),D4="Unexcused"),"0.50"))

      2. A little more direction is needed. Are you able to show me the formula?

        1. =IF(AND(B4>=4.00, c4="Illness/Injury""Family Emergency","Other") D4="Unexcused"), "1.00", IF(AND(B4<4.00, c4="Illness/Injury""Family Emergency""Other"), D4="Unexcused"), "0.50")

  5. Basically, what I need is:

    If H2 is "A" then enter 234 in K2, OR if H2 is "AB" then enter 456 in K2, etc...etc...

    Note. This sequence has four letter to number combinations.

    Thank you

      1. Thank you

  6. Hello, I have columns that has "Yes, No, Yes" as an answer. If I have all 3 as "Yes, No, Yes", my formula should reflect "Yes". And if one of the 3 has a different answer, (i.e "No, No, Yes"), my formula should reflect as a "No". How can I do this?

    i.e Column H = Yes, Column J= No, and Column K=Yes and result in Column N should be Yes.
    if Column H answer is No then Column N Should reflect as NO

    1. Hi!
      If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:

      =IF((H1="Yes")+(J1="Yes")+(K1="Yes")>1,"Yes","No")

      1. Thank you for your help Alexander. Unfortunately, it did not work.
        (H1=Yes)+(J1=No)+(K1=Yes) should give me a result of "Yes"
        And all other combinations should result as "No"

        I tried and modified the above given formula but it does not work as I want it to be.

        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.
          Use IF AND statements:

          =IF(AND((H1="Yes"),(J1="No"),(K1="Yes")),"Yes","No")

          1. Hi! Sorry if I was not clear on my first message. The new formula worked! Thank you

  7. I am trying to write a nested formula. In cells A25:C25, the value is either "Paid" or "Unpaid". I would like to write a formula in a single cell (G30) such that the IF statement evaluates the entire range (A23:C25) ... if the value of a cell = "Paid", do nothing and move to next cell in the range, ... but ... if the value of the cell = "Unpaid", I want the value of another cell to be added together (Cell G30 should return either 0 or a SUM (of all cells in this range =Unpaid)).

    For example, if A25="Paid", do nothing and move to B25. If B25= "Unpaid", go to B23 and capture that value (5), then go to C25. If C25="Unpaid", go to C23 and capture that value (10). Now add B23 + C23 (but not A23). If this can work, the return value on G30 would be "15" (because two of the cells in the range =Unpaid, so their associated values (in Row 23) were added together.

    I tried IF with AND and with OR, but I could not get the "calculate across the range" to work; I keep getting errors or the value of only one cell (like B23). I cannot get the SUM calculation to work properly.

  8. I'm trying to do a long list of variable consequences. The line I am trying to do is, in simple terms, IF cell=A, 1,m if cell =B, 2 etc. But I am getting an error that it is not complete.

    1. Never mind, I found my error. Thank you.

  9. I have sheet as: rows has days like: sunday, monday etc for a whole month and column has present or absent. now i want to make formula which will give me count of how many days someone absent on friday and saturday on that month

  10. Hello,
    I have a formula that will pull registered number of attendees over expected when there is a value. However, there can be duplicated rows of registered attendee numbers. I inserted another formula into the J column to flag this and it inputs the text "duplicate".
    Is there a way to add to the formula below to input 0 into I2 when the "duplicate" text exists"?
    =IF(I2="",G2,I2)
    Thank you,
    Lisa

    2. I mean 0 into H2 which is where this formula exists.
      Sorry.

  11. I have a list of names in one column with a column of one of 9 possible values associated with it. e.g A1 = Alan, B1 = Apple, and Apple & Alan are associated.

    I want to visually show by variable the names associated with that variable, ideally in a 9 box chart. E.g under the variable Apple would be all the names associated with Apple. Under Banana would be all the names associated with Banana, is there a way with a nested IF statement to print those names automatically? The list will change periodically so want to avoid manual intervention is possible.

    Thanks!

  12. I'm trying to do a combination of an If then statement and a textjoin function.

    Common language of what I'm trying to say if A26:A167="SB", then TEXTJOIN C26:C167 together into one cell for the ones that match "SB"

    I'm at: =IF(A26:A167="SB",(TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,C26:C167)))

    This will dump all the email addresses into one field that are marked SB.

    I am getting a #SPILL! error.

    2. I think I figured it out...not sure if it is the most efficient or best formula, but it seems to work.

      =TEXTJOIN("; ",TRUE,IF(A26:A167="SB",C26:C167,""))

  13. =IF(G3>H3,H3,G3)
    am using this calculation to identify if G3 greater than H3, but I also need the reverse if H3 <G3, needs to be value G3, unsure how to add this into formula
    Need excel to distinguish greater value over both columns
    Hope this makes sense!

  14. Hello,

    I want to highlight column A one color depending on specific name in column G of the same line.

  15. Hi, I am trying to write an if-formula where, if the value is true, the outcome should but 0, but if the outcome is false, a formula should calculate a value. So far this is what I have got: "=IF(F4="Yes",0,(G4+J4)-(E4+H4+I4))". However, this does not work. Is this idea possible or should I implement this in a different way?

    1. I got it! The answer was "=IF(F4="Yes";0;(G4+J4)-(E4+H4+I4))"

  16. Hello, good day!
    I need a formula for my sheet that automatically updates my cell as "Updated Recently" if the date I entered is within this week, if not it should be automatically update with just a blank.

    For example:
    [Cell1] Last Sale: March 10 (within a week) = [Cell2] Status: Updated Recently
    [Cell1] Last Sale: Feb 27 (Last week/last month) = [Cell2] Status:

  17. **Correction to my previous question: need help with this formula- If the date in cell W2 > date in cell Q2, then return the number that is in cell AB2, if not then return number in cell T2

  18. I want help writing a formula where on an expenditure sheet there are two 'company names' which amounts spent ge assigned to. The formula I require is to automatically take the amounts from the other sheet and list the amount assigned to either company on diiferent cells under the heading of the company name.

  19. Hi. I need a formula to populate the name of the counselor assigned to a student based on a students last name. I have a list of student's last names on column G and I have the the counselors names on a different sheet within the same workbook. Please help. I got it to work if I place the counselors names on the same sheet where the student information is located but if I delete a student, it will mess with the formula.

  20. Hi, Im trying to find a formula to search from column D2 to D10 for an exact name if there is to print yes if not to print no.

    First name Last name
    1 John Smith
    2 Mike Hunt
    3 Sam Isaco

    So basically what I want to do is if the certain name and last name are found in these columns to print yes

    Is this possible?

    Thank you

    1. Hello!
      If I understand your task correctly, you can define a partial match of a word and a text string with the combination ISNUMBER + SEARCH functions.

      =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Smith",A1:A20))

      I hope it’ll be helpful. If this is not what you wanted, please describe the problem in more detail.

  21. Hi, Can you please help me, in Excel if column A2 value= Column B value, then only compare column C value with column D value and provide result in column E.
    Example:

    1234 END 1234 CERIAL END
    1234 FORNT 1234 BACK FRONT
    1234 ARIAL 1234 GAME9 N/A
    1234 GAME 1234 GAME2 GAME2
    1234 GAME 6 1234 GAME8 N/A
    1234 GAME9 1234 GAME7 GAME9

  22. Hi,

    I'm not sure if anyone can help with what I think should be a relative simple formula that I'm stuck on. I need to create and IF or an AND formula that will look at two arguments that both need to be be True, one argument is checking that a Date is =>2023,1,1 and another cell contains an exact text "Vacancy".

    I have managed to get the Date check to work, however I have no idea how to add the AND argument to check the text in the other cell, I currently have the following formula:

    =IF(A2>=DATE(2023,1,1),"Yes","No")

    The person should only be entitled to the payment if the Date is >=2023,1,1 and that the Role (text) in cell B2 is "Vacancy".

    Thank you for your help.

      1. Brilliant! Thank you so much for your help, this has worked perfectly. I could not work out where the AND should go. Thank you.

  23. How can i categorize the cell content based on the starting letter. (Example:- Different grade of fruits has code like a123, b123 etc., i want to categorize the fruits as "A grade" for the code that starts with "a".

    1. I have 3 options in source column instead of two so how should I do
      For example
      If IND2522 - it should reflect in colour as India
      If BNG2522 - it should be reflect as Bangladesh
      If PAK2522 - it should be reflect as Pakistan

      1. Thank for your prompt response Mr. Alexander

        i have list of materials in row A which has two types of material codes one type starts with alphabet like "S123, S234 and so on" which is semi finished and another code was only numeric it was finished goods. In row D i need the codes which starts with alphabetic should name as "Semifinished" and numeric code as "Finished goods". i believe that i gave you the clarity to derive the formula.

        1. Hello!
          This formula returns TRUE if the first character is a letter.

          =ISERROR(--LEFT(A1,1))

          I hope this will help, otherwise don't hesitate to ask.

          1. Yes, it's working but it will be convenient if the formula returns to any name instead of TRUE or FALSE.

  24. Hey Friends,

    Donno if this Forum works now:

    I am trying to figure out a formula for the following:
    I have 3 Columns : viz : A1,D1, L1 with text contents. And output expected in M1

    So if All of the 3 cells A,D,L are Blank, Then out put should be "Spare",
    If any of the 3 cells mentions : "In Stock", Output should be "In Stock",
    If any of the 3 cells mentions : "Faulty", Output should be "Faulty",
    Else if any columns has any text it should show " Mapped"

    1. Hi!
      Combine cell values and search for the desired text using the SEARCH function. Use a nested IF function to display values based on conditions.
      Try this formula:

      =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("In Stock",A1&D1&L1)),"In Stock", IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Faulty",A1&D1&L1)),"Faulty", IF(A1&D1&L1="","Spare","Mapped")))

  25. Hi!
    I am trying to get my IF statement to take a current number, and if it is over 40, bring it down to 40. If it is under 40 I want to leave it at 40.

    I have attempted the formula =IF(E10>40, 40, E10) I just don't know what to put in the false statement, to keep it at the current value it was at if under 40.

    Thanks for the help!

      1. Thank you!

  26. Hi,

    =IF(B1=5 and C1=3, "Good combination", how i can use this formula

    Kindly confirm.

  27. I'm trying to create a formula to help build a table for a student outcome report.
    A B C D
    1 Comm 1010 Comm 2010 Comm 3000
    2 Communication 2 4
    3 Critical/Creative Thinking 5
    4 Community Awareness 3 4

    If any text in Column A=Communication and any text in Row 1= Comm 1010, then show the number for that combination. In this example, 2 would be displayed.

    If any text in Column A=Critical* and any text in Row 1=Comm 2010*, then show the number for that combination. In this example, 5 would be displayed. I need to be able to use a wildcard for both text options.

    If there is no number in the cell, then leave it blank.

    The numbers will be sent to a different sheet. Right now, I have to sort both sheets so everything lines up. I am hoping there is a formula that will pull over the numbers and I don't have to sort anything.

  28. 0 points if the employee age is less than 27.
    5 points if the employee age is between 27 and 30.
    10 points if the employee age is between 30 and 33.
    15 points if the employee age is between 33 and 35.
    SDP:
    0 points if the employee is not an SP.
    15 points if the employee is an Sp
    GPA:
    5 points if the employee GPA is between 2 and 2.3.
    10 points if the employee GPA is between 2.3 and 2.5.
    15 points if the employee GPA is between 2.5 and 2.7.
    20 points if the employee GPA is between 2.7 and 2.9.
    25 points if the employee GPA is greater than 2.9.

  29. I have an xlookup (in 'Bill 1-9-23'!E2) is used to find a three letter code (AIHP or UCH) in col E of 'Client Roster', that works :
    =XLOOKUP('Bill 1-9-23'!A2,'Client Roster'!A:A,'Client Roster'!E:E,"")

    Then in 'Bill 1-9-23'!G2 I want to use an IF to determine if I found AIHP or UCH and make different results, so:
    =IF(E2="AIHP",500,350)

    It always returns 350 (FAILED), even when E2 is displaying AIHP.
    If I enter a number in Client Roster'!E2 and logically test against that, then it works.

    Thank you for yourhelp, in advance.

  30. I'm trying to work on a formula; say
    I type in the value 5857 in D12
    Then, if the value i typed has it's first three values matching the first three values of any cell in the range A2:A35 counting from the left, pick the corresponding value on the right

    So if the one I entered has its first three values counting from the left matching that of A14... Both values are matching 587, it will pick the corresponding value on B14 then add it to the cell C8

    i did something like this
    =IF(AND(LEFT(A18:A213,3)=LEFT(A2,3),RIGHT(A2,1)="0"),B18:B213+C8, IF(AND(LEFT(A18:A213,3)=LEFT(A2,3),RIGHT(A2,1)="1"),B18:B213+C8))

    and I'm getting
    #VALUE

    1. Hi!
      Your formula does not match the question. Therefore, your problem is difficult to understand. Note, however, that LEFT(A18:A213,3)=LEFT(A2,3) returns not a single value, but an array of 195 values.

  31. Hi Alex,
    I am trying to build an IF function that will select beneficiaries based on set of criteria. Below is the Formula I have used =IF(T35,IF(BD3="Yes",IF(BE3<=2,"Selected""Not Selected")))))))))))

    Kindly advise as the result of the function keeps coming out as "FALSE"

  32. Hi Alexander,
    I am attempting to streamline repetitive data entry by using Sheet 1 as a 'controlled data' sheet, where data can be identified and automatically transferred across to new worksheets/cells when data is being entered. I'd like the active cells to recognise various text codes such as EDT01, EDT02, EDT03,etc, and transfer selected information from various cells across to the same cell location in the new work sheet.

    In essence, when entering data for EDT01 into the new worksheet, columns C2, D2 and E2 will have the same specific size dimensions, therefore rather than continually typing in these dimensions for multiple entries, it would be beneficial to have the code EDT01 identified when typed and the size dimensions automatically filled into these specific columns.

    I'm struggling to explain this in any great detail but hope you get the gist of my problem.

    Thanks you in advance.

  33. I'm trying to work on a formula to say if B22 is equal to 12 multiply the number in D22 by 2, and if B23 is equal 12 then multiply the number in D23 by 2. So on until B30. But if the numbers in B22 to B30 don't contain 12 leave the cell blank. I have the following formula which returns the result FALSE instead of blank.

    =IF((IF($B$22=12,$D$22*2,0)+IF($B$23=12,$D$23*2,0)+IF($B$24=12,$D$24*2,0)+IF($B$25=12,$D$25*2,0)+IF($B$26=12,$D$26*2,0)+IF($B$27=12,$D$27*2,0)+IF($B$28=12,$D$28*2,0)+IF($B$29=12,$D$29*2,0)+IF($B$30=12,$D$30*2,0)),"")

    Can you help on this?

  34. I have created a simple if then statement to check for text within a range.

    However, the statement is always returned "false" even when no data is present in the range of cells.

    If I remove the range & check only 1 cell at a time, the function works as expected.

    =IF((ISBLANK(H3:H500)), "THIS COMPANY MUST SHOW A PAID IN FULL INVOICE BEFORE SENDING STAMPED PLANS OF ANY SORT", "SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE SENT")

    2. I figured it out using "COUNTA"

      =IF(COUNTA(H3:H994)= 0, "THIS COMPANY MUST SHOW A PAID IN FULL INVOICE BEFORE SENDING STAMPED PLANS OF ANY SORT", "SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE SENT")

      This works!

  35. Goodmorning all, i am trying to create an if formula that can generate a letter code for a given amperage. =IF(I9=380,"P",IF(I9=300,"O",IF(I9=290,"N",IF(I9=230,"M",IF(I9=200,"L",IF(I9=180,"K",IF(I9=150,"J",IF(I9=130,"I",IF(I9=120,"ZZ",IF(I9=100,"H",IF(I9=90,"G",IF(I9=80,"F",IF(I9=70,"E",IF(I9=60,"D",IF(I9=40,"C",IF(I9=30,"B",IF(I9=20,"A",IF(I9=10,"A","NOPE")))))))))))))))))) this is working great but now i want to use that answer from that if statement to reference another cell with A corresponding letter for the wire size answer. is there a formula that can refence a that letter and match it to the given answers on another column?

  36. Hi, I am trying to create an IF formula.
    I am trying to find a way to build an IF formula like that: If you see a date, tell me what is the date, and if you don't, tell me the previous date.
    So I am trying to create this formula in the B row. In the C row there are dates and cities.
    Short exemple: C2=Apr/19, C3=NY, C4=Miami, C5=Apr/20
    I want B2,B3,B4 to tell me Apr/19 and B5 to tell me Apr 20.

  37. Hello, I would like your advice.
    How would I write a formula that displays a specific value in one cell, if the value in another cell matches.

    I am trying to make the raw data received from a survey more palatable. So I have a survey question that (for examples asks you to choose your favorite color from list of 13 colors. I want to use a formula that I can place in cell C1 that displays the value in B4 if the value in A1 is 4, but I want that for all the values.

    The logic is as follows: IF A=1 "display B1" AND IF A=2 "display B2" AND IF A=3 "display B3" (.....and so on and so forth)

    Thank you in advance!

      1. Hello, Thank you this is exactly what i need!
        Is there a way to use the CHOOSE function (or VLOOKUP or INDEX or MATCH) to display a value if the index cell has multiple values separated by commas?

        For example: Cell A1 has the values 1, 4, 5 in that cell. but I would still like for the logic to operate as follows: IF A=1 "display B1" AND IF A=2 "display B2" AND IF A=3 "display B3" (.....and so on and so forth)

        1. Hello!
          If I understand correctly, to extract the first number from a text string, use the LEFT function.

          =CHOOSE(--LEFT(A1, SEARCH(",", A1)-1),B1,B2,B3,B4,B5,B6,B7,B8,B9,B10)

  38. Hi!
    I use the IF function to normalize some data and give a number between 0 and 5. I have multiple IF functions of different data groups. I would like to make an average of the results from the IF functions, but I get an #DIV/0! error. I use the AVERAGE function. I believe the problem is that the result of the IF function is not in a number format, but I cannot figure out how to change it. Can you help?

  39. Hi,
    Is there an option to publish value of the cell instead of the cell name in If condition.
    The formula is
    =IF(F9>0, "F9", IF(E9>0, "E9", IF(D9>0,"D9", IF(C9>0, "C9"))))
    Here I want to return the values of cells c9/d9/e9/f9 respectively. Thanks!

  40. hi alex!, how are you, hope your doing fine, i have problem on my simple IF condition, i want to display the actual time upon updating a transaction but every rows that i updated it will give me the same time result. I've used the below condition and i hope you can share to me the correct formula.

    =If(A1"",now(),"")

    1. Hi!
      If I understand correctly, you want to get an unchangeable timestamp.
      To prevent your date from automatically changing, you can use several methods:
      1. Use Shortcuts to insert the current date and time
      2. Use the recommendations from this article in our blog.
      3. Replace the date and time returned by the TODAY function with their values. Copy the date (CTRL + C), then paste only the values using Paste Special or Shortcut CTRL + ALT + V.

    2. =If(A1"",now(),"") (not equal to blank)

  41. Hello!
    I read some articles but still cant find my answer. I want to kind of like create a data base for C where we have "example1,example2,example3 etc."
    when example1 is written in C add number 15 in L
    when example3 is written n C add number 30 in L
    Is there a way I can do that? Thank you for your time!

  42. I have data in column F and data in column U, with dates in column S. I'm trying to have the date in column S copy to another cell on another workbook, if exact matches are found for columns F and U on the same row.

  43. I am trying to have an excel report something as below for "Overall Status" for each username (e.,g User1). I would like to create condition to track the overall status in which even if one of the Status is "Not Completed", mark it as "Not Completed" for each username grouped (e.,g User1). Appreciate if you could provide some inputs on this.

    UserName App Status Overall Status
    User1 App1 Completed Not Completed
    User1 App2 Not Completed
    User1 App3 Completed
    User1 App4 Not Completed
    User1 App5 Completed
    User2 App1 Completed Not Completed
    User2 App2 Completed
    User2 App3 Not Completed
    User2 App4 Completed
    User3 App1 Completed Completed
    User3 App2 Completed

  44. I am trying to use IF, AND, INT functions to go about answering the question:

    ; I free sweet for every dozen after the first 2 dozens. I can calculate ,say for 36 but what about for 48, 60. What should the formula be in the same cell please?

  45. Hello - the nested IF and other topics above appear to be insufficient in what should otherwise be a fairly straightforward process. I am simply trying to nest multiple IF statements with multiple conditions (though technically not necessary) to add qualitative descriptors/labels based on the z-score in another column. I can manage this basic process in R but need to use an Excel spreadsheet for this current task. I have tried several versions, beginning with the simplest form, and continue to confront error messages, with the below syntax being the most recent attempt:

    =IF(AND(H6>=2.00, H6=1.34, H6=0.68, H6=-0.67, H6=-1.33, H6=-2.25, H6=-2.32, H6=-2.49, H6=-2.60, H6<-2.49), “Severely Impaired”, IF(H6<-2.60, “Profoundly Impaired”, “UNK”))))))))))

    Any assistance would be appreciated. If there is an easier route, that is fine as well.

    1. Hi!
      The formula is written incorrectly. Also, the conditions in the AND function cannot be met at the same time. I recommend reading the manual - IF AND in Excel: nested formula, multiple statements.

      =IF(AND(H6>=2,H6=1.34,H6=0.68,H6=-0.67,H6=-1.33,H6=-2.25,H6=-2.32,H6=-2.49,H6=-2.6,H6<-2.49),"Severely Impaired",IF(H6<-2.6,"Profoundly Impaired","UNK")) I can assume that you need to use an IF OR expression. Read: Excel IF OR statement with formula examples.

    2. For some reason, the syntax did not post properly (excluded commands). I shall try again here:

      =IF(AND(H6>=2.00, H6=1.34, H6=0.68, H6=-0.67, H6=-1.33, H6=-2.25, H6=-2.32, H6=-2.49, H6=-2.60, H6<-2.49), “Severely Impaired”, IF(H6<-2.60, “Profoundly Impaired”, “UNK”))))))))))

      1. I give up. It excludes my IF(AND() commands and several "LABELS" upon posting. The post itself is nonsensical. I would check your code.

  46. If K9 has the value, {"date_of_birth":"11/08/1995",category":"bank","last_name":"Singh","first_name":"Digant"} and want to only display the the value of date of birth in another cell, how do I do that?

  47. Hello Alexander,
    I am trying to copy some data from one workbook (sheet 1) to another (Sheet 2).
    My situation is as follows-
    I want IF formula to check cell X1 in Sheet 1 and if it is >0, then
    copy cell Sheet 1(B1,C1, D1 and E1) to Sheet 2(A1,B1, C1 and D1)

    Else, Simply skip to another row and check the cell X2 and so on and so forth until it has checked all cells in the Column X

    1. Hi!
      An Excel formula can only change the value in one cell in which it is written. Create a separate IF formula for each cell. How to create a reference to another worksheet, read this guide.

  48. NO. Start Date End Date Total Days (Free Day) Chargeable Days (1 up to 3 Days) (4 up to 6 Days) (7 up to 9 Days) (10 Days) (11 Days)
    1 01-Mar-22 12-Mar-22 12 1 11 880 USD 3300USD 4400USD 5500 5500

    how calculate all days in one cell (Total Charges Days Fees)
    If we 2 wheel of Wagon:
    (1 up to 3 Days) 400 USD = 880$,
    (4 up to 6 Days) 1200 USD with 25% = 1500$
    (7 up to 9 Days) 1600 USD with 25% = 2000$
    (10 Days) 2000 USD with 25% = 2500$
    (11 Days) 2000 USD with 25% = 2500$
    (12 Days) 2000 USD with 25% = 2500$
    12 Days Total = 8900$

    If we 4 wheel of Wagon:
    (1 up to 3 Days) 880 USD = 880$,
    (4 up to 6 Days) 2640 USD with 25% = 3300$
    (7 up to 9 Days) 3520 USD with 25% = 4400$
    (10 Days) 4400 USD with 25% = 5500$
    (11 Days) 4400 USD with 25% = 5500$
    (12 Days) 4400 USD with 25% = 5500$
    12 Days Total = 19580$

    My question and problem?
    - When I select 2 wheels with Dum tract then adding 25% if we select 4 Wheels with Taxi not adding 25%

  49. Hi,

    Can you see what I have done wrong with this formula, the first IF for single works, but Double and Unequal Double keep showing 0 as the answer?

    =IF(E10="Single",1,IF(E10="Double",2,IF(E10="Unequal Double",2,)))

      1. Hi sorry I should have said that E10 is a drop down box, the formula works if I select another cell and manually enter the works

  50. Hi, I have a very bizarre issue with the IF function. I am trying to return two different texts alternatively based on two pairs of criteria from two different cells. In clear, I have 3 columns H, AN and AO.

    So, if, say, H30 is blank and AN30 is also blank, then I want AO30 to return "Open".
    Then, if H30 has a date and AN30 is blank, then I want AO30 to return "Ongoing".
    Then, if H30 has a date and AN30 also has a date, then I want AO30 to return "Closed".

    Anyone can help, pleaseÉ
