HOW DO I MULTIPLY BY A VALUE NOT MORE THAN A CERTAIN NUMBER
 

how to multiply two cells of certain values uptil a maximum value eg.
multiply A1:B1 whereas B1 is not more than 38

HOW DO I MULTIPLY BY A VALUE NOT MORE THAN A CERTAIN NUMBER
 

Instead of using B1 in your multiplication, use MAX(B1,38) instead.

=IF(B1<=38, A1*B1, "?") You did not say what to do if B1 is greater than
38, so I return a ?

Yes, MIN, of course... I read "not more than" and immediately thought MAX
without paying enough attention to the rest of the words around it. Thanks
for noting that.

Not such a big deal in my case... my MVP award is for the compiled version
of VB, not for Excel.<g
