Hi,

I know I've seen questions about this before but haven't got time to search.

Would any kind soul please tell me how I can get excel to look at a value in
column M and if it is larger than 12 use 12 in that column

=MAX(12,M2)

If you are after a sum try this but change the refence area:
=IF(SUM(M1:M3)12,12,SUM(M1:M3))

If it is just a value in a cell try this:
=IF(M112,12,M1)

I think you mean MIN, nor max. "If larger than 12 use 12" means to
use whichever is SMALLER, the actual value or 12.

Those will work, but the min() function is shorter and IMHO better
because each value gets mentioned once, not twice.

Sorry should have given more info I think

I'm using custom format [h]:mm:ss and I'm trying to sum times where every
4th week the balance can't be more than 12 hours

So in M209 I have =L209+M201 and in N209 I want to add the onto the
cummulative times for the last 4 weeks but if it goes over 12 hours N209
needs to be 12.

Not explaining this very well but thanks for your help

Hi,

Worked it out. =MIN(TIME(12,0,0),M2)

So happy!

Thanks for your help wouldn't have known where to start otherwise
