IF maximums
this is reposted.
I am not having much luck with that - I'm wondering if it would be easier to do something like this 4 of the Cells in column B are = to $34, could I do a formula that basically says: If cell C11=BR or FW or NE or HI, then multiply cell B3*C13*C9. This would elimiate the need for more than 7 IF statements, as 4 of the 10 would be included in the statement above. I'm getting there, slowly - thanks for your help. -- "Excelenator" wrote: You can actually nest many more than 7 if statements if you use named formulas. The first thing you have to do is take your current formula and copy it from the formula bar. Go to Insert\Name\Define and type in a formula name (I used IFOne) and then paste in your formula in the Refers to: box replacing the cell reference and then click OK. Once that is done, create the formula for all the other IF scenarios that you have and name them in succession (i.e. IFTwo, IFThree etc.) like you did above. Then in the cell you want the formulas to appear enter the following IF statement: IF(IFOne,IFOne,IF(IFTwo,IFTwo,IF(IFThree,IFThree,0 ))) The example above will allow you to nest 21 if statements! -- Excelenator ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excelenator's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36768 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=565179 -- Barb |

Use this formula Code: -------------------- IF(OR(C11="BR",C11="FW,C11="NE,C11="HI"),B3*C13*C9 , [condition if false here most likely the other if statements]) -------------------- B G Wrote: this is reposted.

OK - so if I put in just the formula you wrote - that works, but now what if
I want to include the other cell value possibilities; i.e., BL=30.50; EP=32.50; ER=38.75 ; these amounts will vary which is why I had the amounts in before as a cell (BL=B3 which equalled 30.50. =IF(OR(C11="BR",C11="FW",C11="HI",C11="NE"),34*C13 *C9),IF(C11="BL",B3*C13*C9,IF(C11="EP",B5*C13*C9)) This is what I put in - but it brings back #VALUE! -- Barb "Excelenator" wrote: Use this formula Code: -------------------- IF(OR(C11="BR",C11="FW,C11="NE,C11="HI"),B3*C13*C9 , [condition if false here most likely the other if statements]) -------------------- B G Wrote: this is reposted.

The problem is the ")" after C9 in your formula. It should be removed and an additional ")" should be placed at the end of the formula. =IF(OR(C11="BR",C11="FW",C11="HI",C11="NE"),34*C13 *C9*)*,IF(C11="BL",B3*C13*C9,IF(C11="EP",B5*C13*C9 )) -- Excelenator ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excelenator's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36768 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=565270 |
