Your statement of the issue is contradictory. If the calculation is (equity(do you mean debt?)*0.0036/12) when the equity is less than 20%, you'd simply use =B7*0.0036/12*B6<.2 Equity usually means the borrower's principal balance, i.e., the sum of the down payment and principal payments to date. Your formula above will return TRUE or FALSE, never a numeric result, because Excel *ALWAYS* gives higher precedence to arithmetic operators than to comparison operators. In other words, this evaluates the same as =(B7*0.0036/12*B6)<.2 while it would appear the OP needs =B7*0.0036/12*(B6<.2) Simple Rule: *ALWAYS* parenthesize boolean expressions used as operands to arithmetic operators. However, you also mention 15% as some kind of threshold. Is there a different calculation for equity less than 15%. If so, then.... =IF(B6=0.2,"0",IF(B6=.15,B7*0.0036/12,what's the formula for 0% to 14.9%)) .... If the result should be zero outside the 15% to 20% window, another alternative would be =(ABS(B6-0.175)<0.025)*B7*0.0036/12 |
