attempting complicated IF comparison with end goal easy for future users
Hello,
I have 2 worksheets with water quality data (Nutrients and Metals), one worksheet with acceptable values for the different parameters measured, and one worksheet where I am attempting to look at these different parameters to say if they are acceptable or not.
There are 2 different labs and various dates along with the various parameters I am looking at.
This is a formula I have come up with, and it works for the first couple columns then stops.
=IF((Nutrients!$D$4:$D$24=$D4)*(Nutrients!$E$2:$AL $2="ET")*(Nutrients!$E$3:$AL$3=F$3),IF('acceptabl e limits'!$D$3Nutrients!F$4,"GOOD","BAD")," ")
What I am trying to say is =IF((parameter in nuterients worksheet = parameter here) and (lab on nutrients worksheet = lab "ET") and (date on nutrients worksheet = date here), then IF(parameter value on acceptable limits worksheet is greater than value on nutrients, then its good, otherwise bad) and its blank if it didn't work)
The idea is that there is data coming in every month, so I am trying to make it easy for me (and future people) to see when something is wrong, with it easy to add the new incoming data.
Thank you for any advice!
