Hi

I Would like to know if it is possible to do something like this using IF:

From this:
=IF(A1*A2100;A1*A2;0)

To something like this:
=IF(A1*A2100;ResultFromTest;0)

Where "ResultFromTest" variable will be the result from the test "A1*A2", this way removing code redundancy.

Imagine how much a formula like this would be simplified:
From:
=IF(100-((A1*A2+(A3/A4))*A5/100)45;100-((A1*A2+(A3/A4))*A5/100);0)
To:
=IF(100-((A1*A2+(A3/A4))*A5/100)45;testResult;0)


Thanks

e.g. enter =A1*A2 in G1, select Name manager and give G1 the name
ResultFromTest. Then you can use the name in the formula. But you don't
have to do it with an If-Statement. Try:
=(A1*A2100)*ResultFromTest
or
=(ResultFromTest100)*ResultFromTest

Thanks for your response

Your solution is not exactly what I want because you need to use other cells to implement.

Imagine you want to use tables with formulas like this:

Where the cell Formula has this: "=IF([X]*[Y]30;[X]*[Y];0)"

Is there anyway to do this "=IF([X]*[Y]30;ResultFromTheLogicalTest;0)" without creating another column only for the "[X]*[Y]" calculation or use other cells?

Maybe some hidden IF parameter that does this: "=IF([X]*[Y]30;@result;0)" or other kind of function that I don't know.

Thanks
