Excel Formula Nested IF AND OR - excel

Hi I am trying to get this to work and I have for the most part but missing one piece I want to add. So far I am using this
=IF(OR(AND(G2="Received", C2<>0),AND(G2<>"Received",C2=0)), "PASS", "FAIL")
What I want to happen is to add that if the item is shipped status but not received in another system but the shipment was within 1 calendar day then set the field to say review other wise if its older than one day say fail.
if G2 is "received" and C2 is not 0 then pass otherwise fail
if G2 is not "received" and C2 is 0 then pass otherwise fail
if G2 is ""Shipped" and C2 is not zero and X2 less than 1 day from current date then REVIEW otherwise fail

I would write this exactly as you have it in that last paragraph, and drop the "OR" from your original IF formula:
=IF(AND(G2="Received",C2<>0), "PASS", If(AND(G2<>"Received", C2=0), "Pass", If(AND(G2="Shipped", C2<>0), "Pass", "Fail")))
If it gets more complicated then that, then consider a UDF to keep your sanity in check.
Also, since each one of these three conditions is mutually exclusive, you could refactor this thing down into a boolean statement:
=(G2="Received")*(C2<>0) + (G2<>"Received")*(C2=0) + (G2="Shipped")*(C2<>0)
This will return True or False instead of Pass or Fail. It's a little shorter and doesn't rely on nested if's so adding more combinations of conditions should be easier in the future.
I missed that last date requirement. Updated statement:
=IF(AND(G2="Received",C2<>0), "PASS", If(AND(G2<>"Received", C2=0), "Pass", If(AND(G2="Shipped", C2<>0, Today()-x2<=1), "REVIEW", "Fail")))
So... just added an extra condition in the last AND() here.

Excel - How can I shorten this formula

I wrote a formula which exceeds 8192 characters and I really need to reach the result of the formula. Actually it is repetetive calculation for different conditions. I'm sure when you see the formula you will get the idea. But there is short explanation below:
There are 10 different sources and regarding choosen source formula should work.
Regarding choosen currency I need to get result of related calculation.
Right now it is 10.290 chars.
Since this is my first question and I'm kinda new on Excel any help would be appreciated.
*Expected result need to be shown on "unit price" column and different for each item.

The IFERROR has the format IFERROR(Value, Value_if_error). Your Value is this:
IF(core!$D$11=1;IF($F15>0;IF(core!$D$7="TL";IF(core!$H29="TL";core!$I29+core!$I29*core!$F29+core!$I29*core!$g29;IF(core!$H29="USD";core!$I29*core!$N$2+core!$I29*core!$N$2*core!$F29+core!$I29*core!$N$2*core!$g29;IF(core!$H29="EURO";core!$I29*core!$N$3+core!$I29*core!$N$3*core!$F29+core!$I29*core!$N$3*core!$g29;"")));IF(core!$D$11=1;IF($F15>0;IF(core!$D$7="USD";IF(core!$H29="TL";core!$I29/core!$N$2+core!$I29/core!$N$2*core!$F29+core!$I29/core!$N$2*core!$g29;IF(core!$H29="USD";core!$I29+core!$I29*core!$F29+core!$I29*core!$g29;IF(core!$H29="EURO";core!$I29*core!$N$3/core!$N$2+core!$I29*core!$N$3/core!$N$2*core!$F29+core!$I29*core!$N$3/core!$N$2*core!$g29;"")));IF(core!$D$11=1;IF($F15>0;IF(core!$D$7="EURO";IF(core!$H29="TL";(core!$I29/core!$N$3+core!$I29/core!$N$3*core!$F29+core!$I29/core!$N$3*core!$g29);IF(core!$H29="USD";(core!$I29*core!$N$2/core!$N$3+core!$I29*core!$N$2/core!$N$3*core!$F29+core!$I29*core!$N$2/core!$N$3*core!$g29);IF(core!$H29="EURO";core!$I29+core!$I29*core!$F29+core!$I29*core!$g29;""))))))))))));
Taking your formula, splitting out the first part of the IFERROR, and eliminating the spurious code (i.e. IF(A=1, IF(B=2, IF(A=1, ALWAYS_TRUE, ALWAYS_FALSE), C), D) is functionally identical to IF(A=1, IF(B=2, ALWAYS_TRUE, C), D)), I then built the following table:
The Red, Blue and Green text are Common Terms, present in every formula.
Examining this, and rearranging it slightly, I spot the following patterns:
When D7 is "USD", Divide by $N$2
When D7 is "EURO", Divide by $N$3
When H29 is "USD", Multiply by $N$2
When H29 is "EURO", Multiply by $N$3
Implicitly, the following rules also exist:
When D7 is "TL", Divide by 1
When H29 is "TL", Multiply by 1
I can use a VLOOKUP to pick which cells to use, resulting in the form VLOOKUP(H29,..) * (Common_Terms) / VLOOKUP(D7,..)
This allows me to rewrite your Value as follows:
IF(AND(core!$D$11=1,$F15>0), IF(AND(MATCH(core!$D$11,{"TL","USD","EURO","*"},0)<4, MATCH(core!$H$29,{"TL","USD","EURO","*"},0)<4), VLOOKUP(core!H$29,{"USD",core!$N$2;"Euro",core!$N$3;"TL",1},2,FALSE)*(core!$I29 + core!$I29*core!$F29 + core!$I29*core!$g29)/VLOOKUP(core!H$29,{"USD",core!$N$2;"Euro",core!$N$3;"TL",1},2,FALSE), ""), FALSE)
Which is a third of the length. You should be able to manage similar optimisation of almost every IF condition you have.
More importantly, a lot of your repeated (and unnecessary) IF conditions are checking if H29 and D7 are "TL"/"USD"/"EUR", or checking that F15>0. You can eliminate these by making your outermost IF statement look like this:
=IF(AND($F15>0, MATCH(core!$D$7, core!$D$11, {"TL","USD","EURO","*"},0)<4, MATCH(core!$H$29, {"TL","USD","EURO","*"},0)<4), ALL_THREE_CONTITIONS_ARE_TRUE, "")

Use "if" function to identify specific hours

I have an excel table see attached picture. I want to find which cells (rows) contain specific hours. To do so I used the if function:
=IF(B2=HOUR("12:00:00");"xx";"yes")
The outcome was not correct. As you can see the outcome was "yes" corresponding to false.. What is the problem ?
In addition, I tried to embed the "and" function, in order to select multiple hours, but the excel prompt error message. The formula I tried in cell B2 is:
=IF(B2=HOUR(AND("12:00:00";"3:00:00");"xx";"yes"))
error message:
contain many conditions
I think you have swapped the arguments in your comparison.

[HOUR] returns the hour of a time value
If we evaluate your formula step by step, we get:
HOUR("12:00:00") -> 12
B2 = 12 -> false
IF(false; "xx"; "yes") -> yes
To fix this, change your condition to HOUR(B2) = 12.
That should work for a single hour.
If you want to check for multiple hour values, you can use the OR function, as noted in a previous answer, but with modified conditions like this:
IF(OR(HOUR(B2) = 3; HOUR(B2) = 12); "xx"; "yes")
First you just have misplaced the return of the true and the return of the false. Try :
=IF(B2=HOUR("12:00:00");"yes";"xx")
Second, you do not want a logical and but a logical or. And your condition is "if B2 is an hour that is equals to '12:00 and 3:00'" this has no sense. What you want is "if B2 is an hour that is equals to '12:00' or B2 is an hour that is equals to '3:00'". This should look like :
=IF(OR(B2=HOUR("12:00:00"), B2=HOUR("3:00:00")) ; "yes"; "xx"))
Edit : Thanks to Korrat answer I can correct mine. The hour should not be compared like this. You should use the function HOUR on the cell and not on the value.
=IF(OR(HOUR(B2)=12, HOUR(B2)=3) ; "yes"; "xx"))

Excel Nested IF AND

I have the following formula:
=IF(AND(A1=0,A3="","1 item"),
IF(AND(A1=0,A3="Exclude","1 item"),
IF(AND(A1=1,A3="Exclude","1 item","2 items"))))
3 combinations of cell values in A1 and A3 return text which I'm calling "1 item"
Only 1 combination of cells value returns text which I'm calling "2 items".
The only combination to return "2 items" is where A1=1 AND A3="".
The formatting is wrong but I'm not sure where.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
this is the correct formula -
brackets of AND() were not properly closed.
=IF(AND(A1=0,A3=""),"1 item",IF(AND(A1=0,A3="Exclude"),"1 item",IF(AND(A1=1,A3="Exclude"),"1 item","2 items")))
Excel's IF expects three parameters: Condition, What to do if condition is TRUE, and what to do if condition is FALSE.
I'll re-format your formula so you can see where the error is:
IF( AND(A1=0,A3="","1 item") ,
IF(AND(A1=0,A3="Exclude","1 item"),
IF(AND(A1=1,A3="Exclude","1 item","2 items")
)
)
)
As you can see
For the first IF you are not providing what to do if condition is FALSE,
The same for the second IF,
The third IF has no definition of what to do if the condition is TRUE or FALSE.
Hope this helps you.
UPDATE
Following your comment (which is still not clear to me), hereinafter I'm providing simple rules you may use to construct your formula correctly:
Write your formula as a piece of text (like the example I show above) so that you can easily read, edit and verify it,
Remember that Excel's IF has three parameters: Condition, result when condition is TRUE and result when condition is FALSE,
Within any of these three parameters, you can include whatever you want PROVIDED that the result is compliant with what the function expects for that parameter; for instance, writing for the first parameter 3=8 is completely legal since the result is FALSE (while 4=2*2 would yield TRUE).
Having this in mind, here is the formula I think you are looking for (WARNING!!! I'm not sure I understood what you need, but if not, changing it should be very easy for you now):
IF(AND(A1=1,A3=""),"2 items","1 item")
This is based on your wording: The only combination to return "2 items" is where A1=1 AND A3="".

COUNTIF by month for range

I have 3 columns in excel that track when someone answered a call by date. Each person is called up to 3 times, hence the 3 columns. I am trying to count the number of people that answered in July, so the first two columns could be pre-July, or the first column could be in July. My data looks a little like this.
A B C D
1 1st Call 2nd Call 3rd Call July
2 01/06/15 12/06/15 22/06/15 No
3 01/06/15 15/06/15 02/07/15 Yes
4 14/06/15 02/07/15 Yes
5 14/06/15 03/07/15 Yes
6 05/07/15 Yes
So regardless of whether they answered after 1, 2, or 3 attempts, if any of the 3 columns is in July it returns "Yes".
I have tried this formula,
=IF(A2="", "", IF(COUNTIF(A2:C2, month=7)>0, "Yes", "No"))
and
=IF(A2="", "", IF(COUNTIF(A2:C2, MONTH(A2:C2)=7)>0, "Yes", "No"))
But to no avail. Does anyone know how to achieve this?
EDIT
I have realised since I can use the following,
=IF(A2="","", IF(MONTH(A2)=7, "Yes", IF(MONTH(B2)=7, "Yes", IF(MONTH(C2)=7, "Yes", "No"))))
However i'm still curious if my first attempt is achievable.
Yes, you can do what you're attempting with a simple tweak to how you are declaring your 'array' of possible responses:
=OR(IF(A2="", "", IF(Month(A2:C2))=7, TRUE, FALSE)))
You will need to confirm this with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER, rather than just ENTER. It will work as you are intuiting, by running over each cell with the formula If(Month(CELL)>0, TRUE, FALSE). It then gives us an array of responses, depending on the results. [something like {TRUE, FALSE, TRUE}].
Note that I needed to change "yes" and "no" to TRUE / FALSE, because then we can wrap the whole thing in an OR statement. Otherwise, it's hard to pick out from your array of "yes"'s and "no"'s whether any of them are "yes". You can, if you need to, wrap this whole thing in an IF formula to convert TRUE to "yes", like so:
=IF(FORMULA ABOVE,"yes","no")
Why not just use an Or statement? =if(or(month(a2)=7,month(b2)=7,month(c2)=7),"Yes","No"). Then, you can use a countif to count how many "Yes" answers you have.
As for whether your first method would work, AFAIK it won't as the array in the formula won't work. Also, it's a little "overkill" to use an if countif > 0, then ... since all you want to know is if ANY of them are July, you could just use the above Or() statement.

If statement depending on time of day

I need to use a specific time, so far I had this
=IF(AND(TIME(15,45,0)<=(AW15=$A$11,$A$13)),IF(AND(TIME(15,45,0)>=(AW16=$A$13,$A$15))
So if before 15:45:00 I need for it to equal this logical test AW15=$A$11,$A$13 and if after 15:45:00 to equal to AW16=$A$13,$A$15.
Hope it makes sense and thanks in advance.
So it sounds like you are trying to write a nested IF statement. That is, IF A is true, THEN IF B is also true THEN return result 1, otherwise (A true, but B not true) return result 2, otherwise (A not true, B not tested) return result 3.
In Excel, this would be written as follows:
=IF(Parameter1=Condition1,IF(Parameter2=Condition2,Result1,Result2),Result3)
Applying it to your scenario, I think you are aiming for this:
=IF(TIME(HOUR(NOW()), MINUTE(NOW()), SECOND(NOW())) < TIME(15,45,0),
IF(AW15=$A$11,$A$13,"Condition1.2"),
IF(AW16=$A$13,$A$15,"Condition2.2"))
Note, some scenarios have not been covered by your statement, so I have written "Condition1.2" and "Condition2.2" which you can replace with additional tests or results to return.
Condition1.2 is where the time is before 15:45, but AW15 did NOT equal A11.
Condition2.2 is where the time is at or after 15:45, but AW16 did NOT equal A13.
You don't have to put anything in those placeholders if you don't want to, but if either of those conditions are ever met then the formula will simply return "FALSE".
Also, if you do not want the test time to be NOW(), then you will need to reference another cell that contains a fixed timestamp for when the row is being worked. NOW() is volatile, which means if you save the spreadsheet before 15:45 but then open it again after 15:45, the results you had already calculated will all change.
If i understand your question correctly, you need to compare the time now to 15:45:00 and make a selection based on that. If so the solution is:
=IF(TIME(HOUR(NOW()), MINUTE(NOW()), SECOND(NOW())) < TIME(15,45,0),
AW15=$A$11,$A$13, AW16=$A$13,$A$15)
This translates to: If the time now is before 15:45:00 then do AW16=$A$13,$A$15 else do AW16=$A$13,$A$15
If you want to compare the time in a specific cell then substitute the TIME(HOUR(NOW()), MINUTE(NOW()), SECOND(NOW())) with a cell which has a time for example:
=IF(A1 < TIME(15,45,0),
AW15=$A$11,$A$13, AW16=$A$13,$A$15)
