Please help me with a formula
I am relatively new at doing advanced formulas any help would be greatly
appreciated. Here is my situation I am building a spread sheet that will calculate commissions for employees. Column c = national price Column d = lowest price they can sell the item for Column u = the price that they sold the item at Column x is their commission per unit sold Here is the logic: If they sell the item for national price (c) they earn 50cents If they sell the item for lowest price they can sell the item for (d) they earn 10 cents If they sell the item for something in between D and C they get 10% of the difference from where they sold it and the lowest price they can sell it for Also the lowest commission they can earn is 10 cents on any item sold Example: c9=52 d9=49 So if u9=52 then their commission is .50 If u9=49 then their commission is .10 If u9=51 then their commission is 51-49=2.00*.10= .20 The formula I wrote is: IF(U9=C9,0.5,(U9-D9)*0.1)+IF(D9=U9,0.1) The problem I am having is if there is no value in U9 then I get a #value! Error in x9 I want x9 to be blank if there is no value in u9 Thank you again for any help |

Please help me with a formula
Rob, you were almost there. Try:
=IF(U90,IF(U9=C9,0.5,(U9-D9)*0.1)+IF(D9=U9,0.1),"") Excel was telling you that you can't divide a number by zero, so the above tests for a value greater than zero at the outset. If the test returns True, the formula is used for the result, otherwise, an empty string is entered as the result. HTH Bob "robc" wrote in message ...

Please help me with a formula
The #VALUE error means that one of the cells referenced in the formula is
text, but a number is expected. Did you clear the cell by using the spacebar? HTH Bob "robc" . wrote in message ...

yes I used the space bar to erace them. That was the problem I just
backspaced it and they cleared out the error thanks again Rob "Bob Alhat" wrote: The #VALUE error means that one of the cells referenced in the formula is text, but a number is expected.
