conditional formulas with 12 conditions
This particular issue is a comparison of sorts...I want a column of formulas
to change with the month referenced in another cell. I have a "now()" function formatted to show a two-digit number for the month. I have 12 columns with month headings (Jan, Feb, etc.); underneath the month headings, I'll store the reconciled quantities that get compared to the current quantities (if the change between the current & reconciled quantities is greater than 10%, a format change occurs & the cell displays the lower of the two quantities). I have a list of what could be hundreds of items with a corresponding current quantity. I want to reconcile between the current quantity & the reconciled quantity each month but I want to keep the history of the reconciled quantities too. I'm envisioning a column with formulas that reference the now() function & pull in the appropriate value from the columns with current month's reconcile data. Basically, if month = 02, use reconciledata from column Feb for specific item (continue to fill this formula for all items; change each month) |

And, for the record, I could just insert a new month column each month, but I
enjoy complication sometimes. If the replies aren't fast & furious, the former might be just what I'll do.

conditional formulas with 12 conditions
Can you just sketch out what your data looks like? I think you have
something like this: Name Jan Feb Mar Apr item1 x1 y1 z1 item2 x2 y2 z2 item3 x3 y2 z3 etc. Is this on one sheet for one year, a similar sheet for another year, with another sheet where you want the results? Can you describe again what you want to achieve with this data? I'm a bit confused.

I never realized how difficult it is to verbalize these sheets (much truth in
a picture being worth a bunch of words). Yes, this is one sheet for the entire year. now() Name current qty "if" january feb item1 x1 y1 z1 item2 x2 y2 z2 item3 x3 y3 z3 the "if" column: if now()=1 use y(1,2,3...), if now()=2 use z(1,2,3...) and the if column's formulas should change with the now function's value (downward fill for the column). also, the if column compare's the current quantity to the reconcile quantity; if column will display lowest of two quantities if difference between current & reconcile (monthlys) is 10%of current qty.

Okay, according to my mock-up you have a NOW() function in A1
(although I've use =TODAY() as you don't seem to be interested in the time element), and also in column A you have the names. Your current quantity is in column B, so that your "IF" column is C. You then have columns D to O for your monthly quantities, with the headers on row 2. Put this formula in C3: =MIN(INDEX(D3:O3,MONTH(A$1)),B3) and copy it down. It will give you the lower of the two values from the current quantity and the quantity in the appropriate month column. I didn't really understand what your last sentence meant - do you want to display the lowest or not? Hope this helps.

That worked perfectly; I'd send u $5 if I had your address.
And, yes, I wanted/want the lowest quant displayed.

Glad it worked for you - thanks for feeding back.
