Easy Excel formula question
 

I have data that I want to pull from a table but want to use a formula to
calculate the answer to allow for variance. In normal english the formula I
am trying to use is =If the Max-Average/Average is <1 then take the Average
and add 1/2 of the standard deviation. The formula below provides me with a
"False" answer instead of a number figure.

=IF 'Stats Table'!$C$15<0, IF ('Stats Table'!$C$14-'Stats
Table'$C$15/'Stats Table'!$C$15 <1, then 'Stats Table'!$C$15+'Stats
Table!$C16*B15)

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong with this formula? Thank
you for your help and happy holidays!

Every IF statement needs a true result & a false result. You need to close
off the false results for you IF statements. e.g.,

=if(a11,true,false)

'Nested example
=if(a11,if(a22,true,false),false)

In this case, the false arguments are needed because the OP does not wish for
FALSE to be returned, but I disagree that every IF statement needs both TRUE
and FALSE arguments. I have seen some array formulae that nested an IF
statement inside of another function that ignores FALSE (such as Average), so
it was okay to leave out the FALSE argument in that situation.

If you want this
Max-Average/Average is <1

which is what you have stated and Dribler has provided (and you say it works
great), then why not just use

Max -1 < 1

or
Max < 2
