In Column A I have numbers from 1 to 30 and in Column B I want to add 10 to the number in column A i.e.
if A1 is 1 I want 11 in B1 and in C1 I want 21 and
if A2 is 2 I want 12 in B2 and in C2 I want 22.
I don't want the numbers in columns B and C to exceed the maximum limit of numbers I have in Column A, in this case that is 30.
I need a formula to achieve this so that none of the cells in column B and C has the number exceeding 30 and if the addition exceeds that I want 30 to be subtracted from it. I tried this with IF but it didn't help as I don't know how to manipulate the current cell after adding the number.
Screenshot of expected results:
I want the number in B Column to be addition of 10 to the number in A Column and it should not exceed maximum number.
Maybe, in B1:
=A1+10-30*(A1+10>30)
and in C1, both copied down to suit:
=B1+10-30*(B1+10>30)
Considering B1, the above can be simplified slightly by rendering (A1+10>30) down to (A1>20).
A1+10 is the basic requirement.
The condition is that where A1+10 exceeds 30, a deduction of 30 should be applied. This can be restated as "where A1 exceeds 20".
(A1>20) returns either TRUE (when A1 is more than 20) and FALSE (otherwise).
What may not have been appreciated by all is that when used as a multiplier, Excel treats TRUE as 1 and FALSE as 0.
So when A1 is less than or equal to 20, nothing is deducted from to A1+10. 30*(A1>20) becomes 30*FALSE (effectively 30*0), which is 0. However, when A1 is more than 20 30*(A1>20) becomes 30*TRUE (effectively 30*1), which is 30.
The formula for B1 is:
=IF(A1+10>MAX($A$1:$A$30),A1+10-MAX($A$1:$A$30),A1+10)
(For C1 just do "Fill Right" from B1.)
Sometimes it's better to use several columns to get to the result:
First I created in D1 =A1+10, then in E1 =MAX($A$1:$A$30).
The $ means that the column or row number does not change when you fill down, so A1 stays fixed to A1 in every cell.
In F1 I created an IF formula: =IF(D1>$E$1,D1-$E$1,D1) which means "IF D1 exceeds the highest value in A1 to A30 THEN subtract that highest value from D1 ELSE just display D1 (=A1+10)"
And if you substitute these values:
(E1): =IF(D1>MAX($A$1:$A$30),D1-MAX($A$1:$A$30),D1)
(D1): =IF(A1+10>MAX($A$1:$A$30),A1+10-MAX($A$1:$A$30),A1+10)
you get the result I mentioned in the first place.

Situation:
Cell A1 is a number (age of a person)
Cell B1 generates one of 2 texts.
I can't get to the solution of this: If A1 is greater than 14 and less or equal to 17, it should give text A. If A1 is greater than 17, it should give text B. If A1 is empty, B1 should stay empty too.
Nested IF
=IF(A1>17,"A",IF(A1>14,"B",""))
I can't seem to find anything similar that's already been asked (they all relate to incrementing row numbers rather than columns)
I'm looking to drag a formula across horizontally and have the columns increment by 2
E.g. B1-A1, D1-C1, F1-E1...
Thanks!
You'll need to have a value in cell A1 and B1 for the following to work.
For my testing I put the number 1 in A1 and B1.
Try this in Cell C1:
=IF(MOD(COUNT($A$1:B1),2)=0,COLUMN(B1),IF(B1<>A1,B1,A1))
Here's what you should see when you drag that formula across:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N
1 1 2 2 4 4 6 6 8 8 10 10 12 12
And this is what the formula does:
The MOD(COUNT() part of the formula counts the cells to the left of it, and if they are a multiple of 2, the value changes.
I've left the value to change to (the 'new' value) as the COLUMN() number for the cell before, just for example's sake. but you can change this part.
The last IF statement at the end checks if the cell before is equal to the cell before that, (eg. Is CELL C1 equal to CELL B1) and if they are not equal, it will give the cell before as a value (the 'copy' value).
I want to use the Max/Min function to calculate the minimum number up to the current row, but not count anything after that row. See example below:
A B C
1 10 =MIN(A1:A1) I Want B1 to only count MIN from A1 to A1 from here, then
2 14 =MIN(A1:A2) from here I want B2 to count MIN from A1 to A2,
3 9 =MIN(A1:A3) Then A1 to A3,
4 6 =MIN(A1:A4) etc,
5 14 =MIN(A1:A5) etc.
I could go back and update each row manually, but I have over 700 rows that I want all this to apply to. Is there anyone who can help me with a solution to this problem?
Use this formula in B1, and copy downwards:
=MIN($A$1:$A1)
This is called maintaining referential integrity while writing any excel formula. It should give the desired result on copy towards right or downwards.
Searched for this but could not find a way to do it.
I would like to be able to transform a value in one cell to another value in a different cell like this:
When cells in Column A contain Y set same number cells in Column B to Male or when cells in Column A contains N set same number cells in Column B value to Female.
For instance:
A2 = Y then B2 = Male
A2 = N then B2 = Female
=IF(A2="Y","Male",IF(A2="N","Female",""))
by typing yes it wont charge taxes, by typing no it will charge taxes.
=IF(C39="Yes","0",IF(C39="no",PRODUCT(G36*0.0825)))
If you want to do something like the following example, you'd have to use nested ifs.
If percentage is greater than or equal to 93%, then corresponding value in B should be 4 and if the percentage is greater than or equal to 90% and less than 92%, then corresponding value in B to be 3.7, etc.
Here's how you'd do it:
=IF(A2>=93%, 4, IF(A2>=90%, 3.7,IF(A2>=87%,3.3,0)))
I have a tax table in one sheet that has a list of tax values. For example:
Sheet1: Tax Tables
A B C
1 Min Max Taxed
-------------------
2 50 100 10
3 100 200 20
4 200 300 30
In another sheet I have a gross income value of say 120 in cell A1. What I want to do is have a vlookup (I'm assuming that's what I should use) that checks cell A1 to see if it's between the Min and Max and then outputs the taxed amount in B1.
Sheet2: Income
A B
1 Gross FedTax
-----------
2 120 Value from Column C goes here
I already have the sheet in Tax Tables set up with named spaces A:C=Min and B:C=Max
I tried doing this:
=AND(VLOOKUP(<A1,Min,3,False),VLOOKUP(>A1,Max,2,FALSE))
But not even close...
I just want to check column A in the first sheet to see if it's less than the the value in the second sheet, and check column B in the first sheet against the value in the second for if its more, then put the value in column C in the first sheet into the cell next to the value in the second sheet.
To use a VLOOKUP, put your maximums and minimums in the same column.
Then use the TRUE argument, which means it looks for the next value that matches. Assuming the value you're looking up in D2, you'd put a formula like this in E2:
=VLOOKUP(D2,$A$2:$B$5,2,TRUE)
First of all it is unclear what you would apply when the amount is exactly 50/100/200/300/... So i decided to include the lower limit in the interval and exclude the upper limit.
For this problem I would use a sumifs like this (you have to decide on which side to put the equal sign:
=SUMIFS(Sheet1!C:C;Sheet1!A:A;"<="&A1;Sheet1!B:B;">"&A1)
This would only take those elements in column C that have a value in column A smaller than or equal to 120 and a value in column B greater than 120
