Hello,

I have a cell (cell1) with this formula

=IF((K11)="","",SUM((K11)/(AB12))*1000)

Then I have another cell (cell2) which derives its value
from cell1 (and another cell)

=IF((K14)0, IF((K11)<"",SUM(K14+K11),""),"")

If the value in cell1 = 0 then I want to modify the
formula for cell2 (pseudocode here) to look something like
this:

=IF((K14)0, IF((K11)<"" OR ((K11) 0),SUM
(K14+K11),""),"")

Obviously, this formula doesn't work. Is there a way to
write a formula with an OR clause along with the IF
statement?

Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron

(bit confusing with all of the brackets and extraneous "SUMs")

- formula 1 in cell 1
=IF(K11="","",(K11/AB12)*1000)

- formula 2 in cell 2
=IF(K140,IF(K11<"",K14+K11,""),"")

now you want
=IF(K140,IF(OR(K11<"",K110),K14+K11,""),"")

Hope this helps
Cheers

Hi
first you could simplify your existing formulas a little bit :-)
=IF((K11)="","",SUM((K11)/(AB12))*1000)
becomes
=IF(K11="","",K11/(AB12*1000))

and
=IF((K14)0, IF((K11)<"",SUM(K14+K11),""),"")
becomes
=IF(K140,IF(K11<"",K14+K11,""),"")

for your formula request try:
=IF(K140,IF(OR(K11<"",K110),K14+K11,""),"")

First, in your original formulae, SUM() is superfluous:

=IF(K11="","",K11/AB12*1000)
=IF(K140,IF(K11<"",K14+K11,""),"")

are equivalent.

To use OR:

=IF(K140,IF(OR(K11<"",K110),K14+K11,""),"")

However, that's relatively meaningless since if K110, it is by
definition not a null string. Since a null string will be interpreted as
0 in a comparison involving numbers, you can simply use

=IF(K140,IF(K110,K14+K11,""),"")

or, more efficiently

=IF(AND(K140,K110),K14+K11,"")

Note that the porposed substitute is a million times too small <g.
Perhaps

=IF(K11="","",K11/AB12*1000)

Thanks all for your help. I was actually wondering about
the superfluous Sum, I think I inherited these formulas
(not to pass the buck), but now I will fix these as you
folks have suggested. Thanks also for the demos on using
Or, and And, I was also going to ask about And.
