Default if formula

could someone please help i hope it posts ok
A B C D E F
Rows time
4 0
5 1/11/06 11 1 F5 should say 3 as its more than 0 as C4 is 0
6 7/11/06 10.9 3 F6 should say 3 as it was a better time than C5
7 14/11/06 3 F7 should say 0 as it is left blank
8 21/11/06 2 F8 should say 0 as its left blank
9 28/11/06 11.5 1 F9 should say 1 as it's a less better time in C9
10 5/12/06 10.9 3 F10 should say 2 as its equal the best time

random cells in column C are used with difference times as used in a
running race

at start of season we don't know what cells in column C are to be used

=IF(C5<C4,3,IF(C5=C4,2,IF(C5C4,1))) I have used this formula in row 5

time is in seconds

Firstly, please don't post the same message separately to multiple groups.
Secondly, please don't start a new thread when the question has already been
asked.
Thirdly, you might stand a better chance of getting an answer if you were to
reply to the questions which were asked after your previous post.

Default if formula

I second David's comments.

This array entered formula, (enter it with Ctrl + Shift + Enter not just
Enter), returns what you asked for but I suspect that there will be other
conditions that will come up that are not satisfied. Chnge the C150 to a
row bigger then you will ever use.

=IF(C5="",0,IF(C5=MIN(IF($C$4:C40,$C$4:C4)),2,IF( C5=MAX($C$4:C150),1,IF(OR(C5<C4,AND(C4=0,C50)),3) )))

You're welcome. I find personally that it is best to describe what it is
that you are trying to do as best as you can and then include some example
data & results required.

As I said, the formula works for the data that you supplied but I am still
not sure that it really is what you want. The point about starting a new
thread, especially in a different NG, is that I would have had to search to
find what had been said before. I did not do that, I simply answered the
question that you asked.
