Another IF Question
I've been pounding my head against my desk all morning trying to figure
this out, so this in where you all come in. Seems like it should be simple, but I'm not getting it. I want to evaluate the value in Column B and if certain criteria are met, then place a category in column D. Here's what I want to accomplish. If B2<500 then place "RED" in Column D. If B2 is between 500-1000 then place "Orange" If B2 is between 1000-1500 then place Green If B2 is 1500+ then place Blue. I might just be overthinking, but I just can't seem to get it all the way through testing each test. Any help would be greatly appericated. THANKS! |

Worked like a charm. I was trying to make it too complicated.
Thanks for the help jlepack wrote: I used this formula in D1 and filled down: =IF(B1<500,"RED",IF(B1<1000,"ORANGE",IF(B1<1500,"G REEN","BLUE"))) These were my results. Note the results of the border cases (500,1000,1500) 499 RED 500 ORANGE 501 ORANGE 1000 GREEN 1001 GREEN 1500 BLUE 1501 BLUE Cheers, Jason Lepack brianelowry.....gmail.com wrote: I've been pounding my head against my desk all morning trying to figure this out, so this in where you all come in.
