equals the actual number...not text ????
I have a formula in e2 that goes like this:
=IF(d250,"50",IF(d225,"25",IF(d2<26,a2))) d2=b2*c2 a2 would be a number between 1 and 150 then i want to put the greater of a2 and e2 into f2 and writing like this =max(a2,e2) it won't select the value in e2, it always elects value in a2 how can i fix ? |

I think that if you look at your IF function and remove the double inverted
commas from the numbers ie. =IF(d250,50,IF(d225,25,IF(d2<26,a2))), then it should work. -- Hope this helps, MarkN "JcR" wrote: I have a formula in e2 that goes like this: =IF(d250,"50",IF(d225,"25",IF(d2<26,a2))) d2=b2*c2 a2 would be a number between 1 and 150 then i want to put the greater of a2 and e2 into f2 and writing like this =max(a2,e2) it won't select the value in e2, it always elects value in a2 how can i fix ? |

Hi!
Try removing the quotes from around your numbers: =IF(d250,50,IF(d225,25,IF(d2<26,a2))) Biff "JcR" wrote in message ...

Remove the quotes from the 50 and 25, you are entering them as text not
as number Also you can lose the last if statement =IF(d250,50,IF(d225,25,a2))) George JcR wrote: I have a formula in e2 that goes like this: =IF(d250,"50",IF(d225,"25",IF(d2<26,a2))) d2=b2*c2 a2 would be a number between 1 and 150 then i want to put the greater of a2 and e2 into f2 and writing like this =max(a2,e2) it won't select the value in e2, it always elects value in a2 how can i fix ? |
