conditional formula
How can i use a conditional formula to return one of 3 values ie. if A1 is
less than x return 10 if it is between x and y return 20 and if it is greater than y return 30 |

=(a1<x)*10 + (a1=x)*(a1<=y)*20 + (a1y)*30

It's hard to make a suggestion unless you say what "does not seem to
work" means... Do you get an error? An incorrect value? A crash? What is your exact formula after you substitute your "x" and "y" variables for numbers or cell references?

Ok I have an order sheet for clothing, if total order quantities reach
certain levels i get a bulk discount. there are 3 levels of discount and so i wish to return one of 3 values. A1 contains the total no of garments 1-2 are £20, 3-10 are £15 and 10+are £10 hence i wish a formula which says: if A1<=2 return a value of 20 if 3<=A1<=9 return a value of 15 and if A1=10 return a value of 10 the formula suggested returns #NAME? if there is a help function associated with this then i am fine to work through it myself but i can't find one, largely because i don't know what to search under thanks again "JE McGimpsey" wrote: It's hard to make a suggestion unless you say what "does not seem to work" means...

Again, what is your exact formula?
It sounds like you're using "x" and "y" without defining them... The Help topic I'd suggest looking at is "Correct a #NAME! Error" In article , "Matt" wrote: Ok I have an order sheet for clothing, if total order quantities reach certain levels i get a bulk discount. there are 3 levels of discount and so i wish to return one of 3 values.
