I need to have a formula where a cell is multiplied depending on a Y or N in another cell. If Y *2, if N *1. I can make a formula to do one calculation but not work out how to do the full thing’
So far ive come up with:
e.g. formula in C3 would be =IF((B3=“Y”),A32)
that seems to work,but i cannot make it do the “N”),A31 part.
Any help greatly recieved.
Something like =IF((B3="Y"),A32,(IF(B3="N",A31))) - If B3 is “Y” will display contents of A32; If B3 is “N” will display contents of A31; If B3 NOT “Y” or “N” will display 0.
Your question is not completely clear on the results wanted.
Syntax:
IF(Test; ThenValue; OtherwiseValue)Thanks Ratslinger.
My post should have said e.g. formula in C3 would be =IF((B3=“Y”),A32) that seems to work,but i cannot make it do the “N”),A31 part.
The * went missing!
On one sheet your formula works, but on another the answer comes up as TRUE or FALSE rather than an actual answer.
Yet again when this forums system uploads a comment it removes the *. so should be =IF((B3=“Y”),A3 * 2) without the gaps!
For your TRUE/FALSE, the format of the cell is probably set to Boolean - Change to Number. For some explanation on that see remark by @Lupp in this Post. For your * not working, it’s the way you are pasting the code. Use one of the blocking formats.
