While trying to use a custom formula to find the sales' bonus for employees, I was using the following formula as it was shown in Microsoft's support video.
Bonus
= IF[Total_Sales]>25000 then [Total_Sales]*0.025 else 0.
However, in the second [Total_Sales], I am getting token eof, and can't apply the formula. Any suggestions as to what should I do?
P.S: I have started to learn about Power Query, and other Macro formulas.
Is that exactly your formula? If so you need to use the proper lower case on the if, and no ending period. Powerquery is case-sensitive
IF[Total_Sales]>25000 then [Total_Sales]*0.025 else 0.
should be
if [Total_Sales]>25000 then [Total_Sales]*0.025 else 0
I have an excel file that is populated with a lot of formulas. I am trying to populate the result by subtructing the latest value to the previous value and dividing the result given in the cell. Please see the photo below. As you can see, starting in row 6 i used the formula of:
"=ABS(IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),10),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),9))/E7,IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),9),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),8))/E7,IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),8),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),7))/E7,IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),7),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),6))/E7,IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),6),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),5))/E7,IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),5),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),4))/E7,IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),4),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),3))/E7,IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),3),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),2))/E7,IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),2),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),1))/E7,IF(F7<=LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),1),(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),1))/E7*(F7-LARGE(IF(find3=$H7,$F$6:$F$196),2))/E7)))))))))))"
In order to get the result of =(f7-f6)/e7. I added if functions cause there are some values that the lookup value is mentioned ($H7) below the table. When the lookup function was changed (please see the second photo), the formula was changed also into this:
"=ABS(IF(F15<=LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),10),(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),9))/E15,IF(F15<=LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),9),(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),8))/E15,IF(F15<=LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),8),(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),7))/E15,IF(F15<=LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),7),(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),6))/E15,IF(F15<=LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),6),(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),5))/E15,IF(F15<=LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),5),(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),4))/E15,IF(F15<=LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),4),(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),3))/E15,IF(F15<=LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),3),(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),2))/E15,IF(F15<=LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),2),(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),1))/E15,(F15-LARGE(IF(find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196),2))/E15))))))))))"
But I've got a result of a #num! error. It's the same statement, the only difference is the looked up value. And when I try to show the calculation steps (Please see the third photo attached below), it says I've got an error in the first statement but why it was working on the first lookup value?
I am noob in excel. Please help me!!!
The reason for this error is that the LARGE function returns #NUM because the underlying array is empty / contains the FALSE result from your IF function (see here for details https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/large-function-3af0af19-1190-42bb-bb8b-01672ec00a64).
The reason here likely is that your find3=$C15,$F$6:$F$196 does not find a match.
Since we do not know what find3 is, you will need to look into the reason for that on your end (i.e., is there value of 5725 EGJ in your find3 data range? If not, why not? If yes, are you sure it spelled the same way (no leading spaces)?).
Once that is fixed you should be good to go.
I need help with the following formula for Excel.
It's not working, the only feedback I'm getting is #VALUE! outcome.
What I'm trying to do is simply:
F5≥-8 = Big,
-3≤F5≤-7.99999= Bigger,
F5≥-2.9999999 = "Blank" <--- No outcome display required
=IF((F5)>=-8, "Big"),IF((F5)>=-3, "Bigger"), IF((F5)<=-1,",")
=IF(F5>=-8, "Big",IF(F5>=-3, "Bigger", IF(F5<=-1,"Biggest","")))
I share the same thought with TotsieMae, you are absolutely right mate. The formula above is by syntax correct but logically not.
Anyway, if the formula involve too many IF functions, then it might be worth to consider an alternate form:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(F5,{-8,"Big";-3,"Bigger";-1,"Biggest"},2,TRUE),"Big")
I have an IF statement =IF(C7="SR",Rates!$G$20,IF(C7="UC",Rates!$H$20,IF(C7="DC",Rates!$G$20,))))
This works great and gives me the correct rate. The next step I need is to calculate that rate with a value from another cell. A simple =SUM(D6*P6) returns #VALUE!
Can someone please assist with this? Many thanks in advance
What are you trying to do with D6 and P6? (what's the value of both fields? numerical values?)
SUM(D6*P6) should work but I don't see what's the utility (just =D6*P6 would give you the same answer since you're not summing anything).
Attached is a bowling sheet I have been working on to figure out my averages, and any "free game awards" I may get, as well as patches, etc...

I am getting a false positive in column S.
Up till S12 the formula seems to work, in where there is a blank, and it shows me getting over 500.
The formula is:
=IF($E12>499,"X","")
Something simple and sweet or so I thought.
Now $E12 has this formula in it, which I don't see why it should affect it at all:
=IF(D12<>0,SUM($B12:$D12),"")
I tried using ISBLANK, but it seems to blow up in my face and not show anything. If someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
A simpler alternative
=IF(N($E12)>499,"X","")
Try this (in E9):
=IF(ISNUMBER(E9),IF($E9>499,"X",""),"")
This is likely a type comparison issue, so this only compares if the cell is actually a number.
