IF function with value_if_true and value_if_false as equations
=IF(C9="S",(D9-F9),(F9-D9))
What I'm trying to accomplish is if I am "short", 'C" column, a contract, then subtract my exit price, 'F' column, from my entry price, 'D' column. If I am not "short", then I would like to subtract D from F. As I have this function written, the answers it shows are not the answers to the equations in paranthesis but the first value in the equations i.e. if C9 does equal S then the answer given is D9 not D9-F9 Excel 2002 (10.2614.2625) |

Are all your cells formatted as numbers? What result do you get if C9 is not "S"? -- Vito ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vito's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29182 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=489199 |

IF function with value_if_true and value_if_false as equations
All the cells in column C are letters, either S for short, or L for long

IF function with value_if_true and value_if_false as equations
I had values in all columns, C, D, and F. C is a letter and D, F are numbers.
I wrote my initial equation =IF(C9="S",(D9-F9),(F9-D9)) after having several rows worth of data. Except for the actual row in which I tried my equation. I left out the F column number. All said and done, the function works. I am just an idiot for not checking all the fields first. Thanks for trying to help me Vito. "Vito" wrote: Are all your cells formatted as numbers?
