I want to set an order completion date based on the words Standard or Rush.
Currently I have it set up where if a cell shows the word Standard, it will give me a date, but once I try to add Rush to that, it get errors
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("VF",B2)), IF(J2="Standard", WORKDAY(TODAY( )+2,1)), "")
I also tried this, but when I type Rush into J2, the result shows as just FALSE
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("VF",B2)), (IF(J2="Standard", WORKDAY(TODAY( )+2,1))), (IF(J2="Rush", WORKDAY(TODAY( )+1,1))))
The idea here is to make an order wanted date based on the Rush and Standard time frame.
You have embedded your new IF function inside of the wrong if.
This: (IF(J2="Standard", WORKDAY(TODAY( )+2,1))) is going to return a date or FALSE. You want to change that FALSE to return your next IF statement. Instead:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("VF",B2)), IF(J2="Standard", WORKDAY(TODAY( )+2,1), IF(J2="Rush", WORKDAY(TODAY( )+1,1))), "")
You return nothing "" in the case that your ISNUMBER() fails still.

Trying to fill an investment field with Short/Long Term & Capital Gain/Loss. Ending values should be one of the following - STCG, STCL, LTCG, LTCL. (I tried to cut/paste an excel image but it's icky, sorry)
Mini Spreadsheet - Date Acquired (H62), G/L per share (J62), Position (result)
For some investments, the date acquired is Var (for various purchases) or blank (for cash). If it is "Var", the function should return "LT" and skip the DATEDIF function. If the date is blank, the function should be skipped entirely and return blank as there is neither gain nor loss.
=IF($H62="","",CONCAT(IF(OR($H62="Var", DATEDIF($H62,TODAY(),"d")<365),"ST","LT"),IF($J62<0,"CL","CG")))
My original function worked well, except when the Date Acquired field (H62) had "Var", I got a #VALUE! error. I tried to do this with nested IFs and with IFS function, but couldn't get it to work (Problem with this formula error): =IF(H61="","",CONCAT(IF($H61="Var", "LT",IF(DATEDIF($H61,TODAY(),"d")<365),"ST","LT")),IF(J61<0,"CL","CG")))
The logic should be: If date="" then "" else concat LT/ST test and CL/CG test
LT/ST test: If date="Var" then "LT" else if date days before today < 365,"ST" else "LT"
CL/CG test: If gain per share <0 "CL" else "CG" (working)
Please help! I could add a hidden column (I'd rather not) or do the whole thing with nested IFs or IFS but I'd have to repeat arguments and that's sloppy & asking for trouble.
I am working on a document where I need to be able to test multiple options in an if statement to see if one of them are true to decide if a paragraph displays on the document. I have been trying to figure out why my OR formula is not returning a value for me to test and I am not sure why it is not showing anything when it is updating.
I have inserted a field and added a formula within that field that I am hoping will work with my If statement to show the proper paragraph contens.
When I use an Or statement, even one as simple as { OR(1=1) } and update and toggle the field I get no result. From what I have read I should get a 1 or a 0, but I don't seem to get either of these results. The line just ends up blank. When I test it with my If formula it always shows the false result, even when the Or contains a true result.
The formula I am currently working with is:
{ IF{ OR("$event.eventType.name}" = "Birthday", "$event.eventType.name}" =
"Conference" } "Yes" "No" }
If I update and toggle the Or field it shows blank, no result either true or false, and makes the If formula show as false event on results where it should show true. As I mentioned above I even tried setting it to 1=1 and still could not get it to show as true. Not sure if there is something I am missing in working with the formula.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It's not clear from your post what $event.eventType.name is. Presumably it's a field generated by an Addin. In that case, you should be able to use something like:
{IF{={IF{$event.eventType.name}= "Birthday" 1 0}+{IF{$event.eventType.name}= "Conference" 1 0}# 0}> 0 "Yes" "No"}
or:
{={IF{$event.eventType.name}= "Birthday" 1 0}+{IF{$event.eventType.name}= "Conference" 1 0} \# "'Yes',,'No'"}
Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practical to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues. The spaces represented in the field constructions are all required. If your fields are a kind of mergefield, you'll need to insert 'MERGEFIELD ' at the start of each one, thus:
{MERGEFIELD $event.eventType.name}
I'm getting a error I can't quite explain I have a Excel list I want to load into memory, to see if the next row is still a relative row I check if the cell has a value by doing If value = "" Then but the value is 1012738 and it gives me a unhandled exception...
I can't quite understand why the code is giving a error, the cell value is formatted just like all previous cells that were checked. But here a error is thrown.
Maybe i'm just not seeing it, and someone can explain?
You should check the value each time.
Dim o As Object = oSheet.Range(xxx).Value
If (o IsNot Nothing) Then
Select Case o.GetType
Case GetType(Double)
' do work here
Case GetType(Integer)
' do work here
...
End Select
Else
...
End If
Your image isn't showing up for me.
Most exceptions in excel are datatype related. Most likely, you either have a NULL or a string that looks like an integer to the human eye. You can blindly try using trim(), int() or str() etc as needed to make sure you're actually testing an integer or matching a string if thats what you are about or you can test them in a programmatic method.
First, the programmatic method of testing ... isEmpty or isNull are needed to ensure the cell is good ...
if isEmpty(value) Then
<do something>
This will most likely catch the error which is causing the message. If empty is failing, try testing with isNull. One means the cell is empty, the other means that it wasn't initialize (rarely an issue in excel, but if using vba code it can happen).
Also ... your if statement is setup in a less than optimal... used <> in place of if then + else ...
Your code ...
If value = "" Then
General formula when you want to test that something is not something else, use the not equals ...
if value <> "value" Then
"some operation"
I have a nested if statement is returning "False" rather than the expected outcome.
Scenario
Table "High VoltageCables" has data in it that default to numeric but may contain characters: kVa
Table "Master" checks "High VoltageCables" data as blank or not blank, and returns "Failed Check 1","Passed Check 1". This works fine.
Table "Meta" then checks the results of "Master" and then tests "High VoltageCables" data for length between 1 and 6, regardless of whether record is numeric or string.
Formula
=IF(MASTER!H2="Passed Check 1",IF(LEN('High VoltageCables'!O2)>=1,IF(LEN('High VoltageCables'!O2<6),"Passed Check 2","Failed Check 2")))
This is partially succesful, as it returns "Passed Check 2" for the following sample data in the source table "High VoltageCables".
1 numeric, or
1kVa str, or
50000 numeric
However if a field in "High VoltageCables"is blank, the formula returns "FALSE" rather than "Failed Check 1"
I inherited this task, (and would have preferred to do the whole thing in Access using relatively simple queries) - and unfortunately I am new to nested If statements, so I am probably missing something basic...
NB the data in High VoltageCables must default to numeric for a further check to work.
The first and second IF's seem to be missing the else part. They should be added at the end between the ))) like ), else ), else )
Every IF statement consists of IF( condition, truepart, falsepart) if you have two nested ifs it will be something like IF( condition, IF( condition2, truepart2, falsepart2), falsepart)
Hope that makes it a little clearer
You do have an unaccounted for FALSE in the middle IF. Try bring the latter two conditions together.
=IF(Master!H2="Passed Check 1",IF(OR(LEN('High VoltageCables'!O2)={1,2,3,4,5}),"Passed Check 2","Failed Check 2"))
It's still a bit unclear on what to show or not show if Master!H2 does not equal "Passed Check 1".
I failed to construct the formula with a concluding "else" - "Failed Check 1"
Using jeeped's and Tom's suggestion and adding the final "else" part I have solved the problem:
=IF(MASTER!H2="Passed Check 1",IF(OR(LEN('High VoltageCables'!O2)={1,2,3,4,5}),"Passed Check 2","Failed Check 2"),"Failed Check 1")
I'm currently trying to create a report using Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studio 2008.
I would like to include a field of type boolean on my report that shows a string rather than true or false. The string should contain either contain a € or a % sign.
How would I go about doing this in the Formula Workshop?
I've tried things like e.g.
if {tblAankoopDetails.SoortKorting} = true then "€" else "%"
However this never seems to work and results in warnings such as "The formula result must be a number".
This should be fairly simple but this is my first go at using Crystal Reports.
Help would be much appreciated.

Make sure your SoortKorting field has always true or false. Maybe there's a null and in that case your formula will not work.
Try with this:
if isnull({tblAankoopDetails.SoortKorting} ) then
" "
else
if {tblAankoopDetails.SoortKorting} =true
then "€" else "%"
Make sure there is nothing else in the same formula. Usually I see that particular error when a formula sometimes returns a string, and sometimes a number.
Also, you shouldn't need to test for true, so you might try:
if {tblAankoopDetails.SoortKorting} then "€" else "%"
