New Formular Needed
 

I have been using some old software to provide what i need but want to move
to Microsoft.

The formular that has been used in the old software (Q&A Version 3) is:

IF Field 2< Field 1 then Field 3 = Field 1 - Field 2 + Field 3 ELSEIF Field
2 Field 1 then Field 3 = Field 3 - Field 2 + Field 3

Can anyone work out a conversion that will work?

Thanks

Hi
do you need a worksheet function or a VBA solution. For
the former one this could be complicated as you want the
result in the same cell as one of he parameter resides

Hi

At first, you have to enter your formula into another column - otherwise you
get a circular reference. And when you enter your formula into some cell
with a value in it, then you overwrite this value - Excel can't get any info
about old value anymore. So the formula will be like this:
Field4=IF(Field2<Field1,Field1-Field2+Field3,2*Field3-Field2)
i.e. something like this in cell D2
=IF(B2<A2,A2-B2+C2,2*C2-B2)

This will not work as you are trying to set Field3 to a value that includes
field3, this will give a circular reference.

If you ahd another field/cell, you could use

=IF(Field2<Field1, Field1-Field2+Field3,IF(Field2Field1,
Field3-Field2+Field3)

Are you sure about that last condition? Field 3 - Field 2 + Field 3 is the
same as -Field2.
