IF statement that yields a value based on a formula
Help! If cell B12 = 0, then I need the answer to be calculated based on the
formual "B12 * .40". If cell B12 < 0, then the answer is zero. How do I do this? -- barbara h |

Hi,
Try this =MAX(0,B12*0.4) -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

IF statement that yields a value based on a formula
based on the formual "B12 * .40".
=(B12=0)*0.4 Ooops! Disregard that formula. Here's a corrected version: =(B120)*(B12*0.4) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T. Valko" wrote in message ...

IF statement that yields a value based on a formula
Is the second IF really needed? Would not IF(B12=0,B12*0.4,0) solve the
problem more simply? Also, since 0*0.4 = 0 it could be simplified to IF(B120,B12*0.4,0). If the test only occurs a few times there won't be a noticable difference, but if the test happens hundreds of times then the last formula will be faster.

Neil,
You don't need an IF statement at all, have a look at other responses -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
