Confused about setting up functions based on variables?
I have 7 lines of data, with 2 variables each. if variable #1 is solo the i
need exel to produce sentence "A" with variable #2 in it. If variable #1 is = to another variable #1 then I need excel to produce sentence "B" with the avg of coresponding variable #2s I almost have it working, I just cant get it to avg variable #2s based on coresponding variable #1s Im sorry if this is asked in a confusing way. I will try to explain better if I get a response. |

Perhaps you could give us an example and your formula.

Please give further details, with examples of what you have and what
you want to achieve.

Days Strength
7 (H40) 1000(N40) I need it to display 1000 when 41-43 are 14 (H41) 2000(N41) not there, 2000 when 42-43 are not there 28 (H42) 3000(N42) and avg 42 & 43 when all are there. the 28 (H43) 4000(N43) problem is I need it to refrence the 7, 14, 28 numbers, not the cells, as the cell order may change The number of days changes I might have 3, 7, 14, 28, 28, 28, 56 so I need it to list the strength from the individual days and avg the 28s, or any other day that may have multiple data. The most days I will have would be 7. Can you do an "if" inside another "if"? =AND(N$40<0,N$41<0,N$42<0,N$43=0,N$44=0,N$45=0, N46=0)<<<<M59 =ROUND((IF(H42=H41,H40=H41),AVERAGE(P40:Q42),(IF(H 41=H42,AVERAGE(P41:Q42),(P42))),0) "Pete_UK" wrote: Please give further details, with examples of what you have and what you want to achieve.

I'm sorry, but this still makes no sense to me - perhaps someone else
can understand what you want to do.

Confused about setting up functions based on variables?
is there any way to post the excel sheet so I can show you, it is real hard
to explain. If there is only 1 of a certain day strength I need it to say "The __ day strength is __% of design If there is more than 1 strength for the same day I need it to avg the strength and say "the avg ___day strength is ___% of design. There are 7 rows of info, and two column variables. The columns are where the prob is. I cant refrence the cell #s because the Cells with the same Days in them may not always be in the same order. Ex: 2,14,28,28,28,56 or 3, 28,28,28, 56 So I am trying to get the "IF" formula to avg the cells with the same days, or just list the strength if there is only one for that day. Can you do an "IF" inside another "IF"? "Pete_UK" wrote: I'm sorry, but this still makes no sense to me - perhaps someone else can understand what you want to do.
