formula for +- comparison check Excel 2003
Hello...
I have a worksheet that calculates a fortnightly payment which includes an amount subject to foreign exchange, which I get from xe.com. I receive this payment via EFT from an agency that bases it on it's own forex value. The resulting total payment could be over + or under - my calculated payment. What I need is a formula to compare the 2 payments and report if the deviation is +- $0.50c, using an IF function. It's possibly so simple, I can't see it. Anyone help? TIA -Please reply to group as my email addr is fake! -Regards CC |

See if these give you any ideas:
For A1: (a numeric value) B1: (a numeric value) These determine if the absolute value of the differences is 0.50 C1: =(MAX(A1:B1)-MIN(A1:B1))0.50 or C1: =ABS(A1-B1)0.50 Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Clarence Crow" wrote: Hello...

Thanks!
It was the ABS function that was missing from my head!
