I need help writing a nested IF statement. Here are my conditions:
1st condition - if A1 is blank and G1 is blank, return a blank value;
2nd condition - if A1>0 and G1 is blank, return value for E1-A1;
Last - if A1>0 and G1>0, return G1-A
I just can't seem to write the correct IF AND statement.
Use this
=IF(A1+G1=0,"",IF(G1="",E1,G1)-A1)

I am testing this if condition to whether O2 cell is matching with an element in A2:J2.
But the formula is displaying in the other 10 cells.
How can I get rid of this issue and execute the formula in only one cell?
Your criteria for the IF function: A2:J2=O2 is an array, which is the reason why it's spilling the values to the other cells. It's basically doing this: A2=O2 B2=O2 C2=O2 D2=O2 and so on..
And it returns all of the result of these. Therefore, you will have an array of results.
Maybe you want to consider this formula: =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(O2,A2:J2,0)),"Yes","No")
The match searches for O2 in A2:J2. If it finds the first match, it will return its position within the range. Otherwise, it will return an error. Therefore, we use ISNUMBER to check if the result of the match is a number. If it's a number, the ISNUMBER will return true. Otherwise, false. Then we'll use IF to capture the result of the ISNUMBER to return Yes if TRUE and No if FALSE.
Another way to solve this issue:
=IF(COUNTIF(A2:J2,O2)>0,"Yes","No")
this formula will count the content of cell O2 within A2:J2 and if available, it will return a number greater than 0.
I want to return the last non-empty cell conditional on a cell value. What I want is to return the Return column (see picture)
I'm able to return the last non-empty cell with this:
=LOOKUP(2;1/(D:D<>"");C:C)
However, I cannot do the same conditional on the values in range B:B.
Can anyone help me?
As per my comment, put the following in G3.
=SUMIFS(C:C;D:D;"<>";B:B;F3)
Drag down. And as mentioned, it is generally better to not use whole column references or you can just use a simple pivote table.
Using MAXIFS:
=MAXIFS(C:C;D:D;"<>";B:B;F3)
Alternatively:
If multiple values exists in column D and you don't have MAXIFS, then try to use MAX with some INDEX:
=INDEX(C$3:C$11;MAX(INDEX((D$3:D$11<>"")*(B$3:B$11=F3)*ROW(A$3:A$11);))-2)
Drag down...
I have the below formula which looks up a value of a cell in a column (B3:B14), based on a column of random (rand()) values (J3:J14)-
=INDEX(Wordlist_Upper!$B$3:$B$14, IF(Wordlist_Upper!$B$3:$B$14<>"", RANK(Wordlist_Upper!J7, Wordlist_Upper!$J$3:$J$14)))
This works fine however it sometimes returns blank values as some of the content of cells B3:B14 may be blank.
Is there a way to instruct it to only return values if the cells contain something (ie. ignore blank cells within the range B3:B14)?
Thanks
UPDATE: I've tried adding IF(Wordlist_Upper!$B$3:$B$14<>"", in the middle, but it still returns blanks
You were on the right track, but your IF evaluation is invalid, which has a knock-on effect on your INDEX statement.
Try this instead, or at least a variant tailored to your data.
=if((isblank(index($B$3:$B$14,rank(J7,$J$3:$J$14,0))))=true,"cell is empty",isblank(index($B$3:$B$14,rank(J7,$J$3:$J$14,0))))
This nests several components. The main different compared to your formula (besides syntax) is the order of the nesting.
These are the components:
1 - index($B$3:$B$14,rank(J7,$J$3:$J$14,0))
This gets a cell value from column B. The row offset is the rank (an integer) of cell J7 among the numbers in column J.
2 - isblank(index($B$3:$B$14,rank(J7,$J$3:$J$14,0)))
This evaluates whether the cell obtained by the INDEX component is empty of not. If the cell is blank, then the formula will return TRUE; if the cell is not empty, then the formula will return FALSE.
3 - if(isblank()=TRUE,"cell is empty", index())
The last component is the IF statement. To paraphrase:
If the cell in column B is blank (i.e. isblank() = TRUE), then display some text saying the cell is empty, otherwise the cell isn't empty (i.e. isblank()=FALSE) so return the value generated by the INDEX statement.
Obviously you should substitute your alternate value in place of my "cell is empty" string. To be honest, I couldn't figure out what you wanted to do when the cell was empty, otherwise I would have completed the formula.
I have an excel spreadsheet. I need to check if the value in a cell in column A is present in any cell in columns B, C and D.
Here is my current formula:
=AND( NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2,$B:$B,1,FALSE))), NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2,$C:$C,1,FALSE))), NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2,$D:$D,1,FALSE))) )
This formula works, in that if the value in A2 is present in a cell in column B, C, and D it will return true - It returns false if not.
What I'm looking to do is to return the value in A2 when the match is correct.
Thanks in advance.
To solely answer your question, you can just put this around your formula:
= IF(<your formula>,A2)
This returns whatever is in cell A2 if your formula evaluates to TRUE, and returns FALSE otherwise.

You're not really using VLOOKUP for it's intended purpose. VLOOKUP is used when you want to find a match in a table, then return some other value in the table with the same vertical index.
Since you just want to determine if a certain value is in a range or not, VLOOKUP is overkill.
Instead of VLOOKUP inside the IF statement, you should just do this:
= IF(AND(COUNTIF($B:$B,A2),COUNTIF($C:$C,A2),COUNTIF($D:$D,A2)),A2)
This should return the same result but is shorter and more efficient.
I am after a function that checks if 8 consecutive values are all greater than the average of the data (C29) and then return the last cell in the array of 8 if this is true. I have a working formula, which is
=IF(D38>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D38>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D39>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D40>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D41>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D42>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D43>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D44>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D45>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D46>$C$29,NA(),D46)))))))))))))))))))
However now I would like to add another test to this: if the corresponding cell in the column before it (I46) contains N/A, then I would like it to return the value of the formula above. But, if I46 contains a value, then I would like this cell to return N/A. I am struggling to wrap my head around how I can put this in, and whether to put it at the start or the end of the nested IF.
Many thanks for any help!
Use the following template:
=IF(ISNA(I46),formula that you already have,NA())
Which would be:
=IF(ISNA(I46),IF(D38>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D38>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D39>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D40>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D41>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D42>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D43>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D44>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D45>$C$29,NA(),(IF(D46>$C$29,NA(),D46))))))))))))))))))),NA())
I haven't tested this, but am taking at face value your statement that the formula you have now does what you want.
