I can't come up with the right formula for this.
Cell B3 contains a value. In cell C3 is the formula which should calculate: if B3 exceeds 1500, i want it to display the difference.
E.g. IF value of B3 is 1600, C3 should display 100.
Thanks, can't get my head around it.
If you want it to show the value of B3 when that value is less than or equal to 1500, and to show the difference if it is greater, use the following:
=IF(B3>1500,B3-1500,B3)
If you want it to show nothing if it is less than or equal to 1500, use:
=IF(B3>1500,B3-1500,"")
=if(B3>1600;B3-A3;"")
Honestly i didn't catch the other operand of the difference you describe, but that is the If formula..
hope it helps..
=IF(B3>1500;B3-A3;"")
As you mentioned if value is greater than 1500 so the formula should be as above.

Subtracting in excel
to subtract 50 from {20,20 ,20} respectively we get {0,0,10}
enter image description here
Try in first cell:
=(SUM($A$11:A11)-$A$10)*(SUM($A$11:A11)>$A$10)
and copy to the right.
The following formula can be used to correctly calculate the amount in cases where the initial number is less than the first value of the array:
=MIN((SUM($A$11:A11)-$A$10)*(SUM($A$11:A11)>$A$10);A11)
Because you need to fix the cell to copy. Refer the cell with 50 as e.g. $A$1 for the cell to be fixed.
I am trying to make a table where a cell in each subsequent row subtracts from the previous one to show the change between the two. The problem is each row isn't always populated so something like A2-A3 then A3-A4, A4-A5, etc. will not work.
How can I skip blank rows in the formula to achieve a result like shown in the attached image (A6 being subtracted from A3 since A4/A5 are blank).
Thanks,
In b3,
=if(a3<>"", abs(a3 - index(a:a, match(1e99, a$1:a2))), "")
I wasn't sure how you wanted to handle the subtraction so I made the difference an absolute value.
I am having a problem with a small number. I am using SUM function to sum certain numbers. If I add a zero to the range, it is not displaying zero. I don't know why.
A1
=SUM(B1:R1)*-1
C1 to L1
266864 -100000 -15136.15 -23688.82 -120870 -7169 -5550 1224 -0.03 4326
A2
=SUM(B2:R2)*-1
C2 to M2
=SUM(C3:C3) =SUM(D3:D3) =SUM(E3:E3) =SUM(F3:F3) =SUM(G3:G3) =SUM(H3:H3) =SUM(I3:I3) =SUM(J3:J3) =SUM(K3:K3) =SUM(L3:L3) =SUM(M3:M3)
A3
=SUM(B3:R3)*-1
C3 to M3
266864 -100000 -15136.15 -23688.82 -120870 -7169 -5550 1224 -0.03 4326 0
A1 is displaying 0, but A2 and A3 displays 9.09E-13
The number 9.09E-13 is another way (scientific notation) of saying 0.000000000000909495, a very small decimal number. What you are experiencing is a 15 digit precision floating point error.
Typically, you would use the ROUND function or something similar to remove the error (if you have to).
See Floating-point arithmetic may give inaccurate results in Excel for more information.
as I think,
might be some different formula on A1 cell is already placed or the type of A1 Cell is int and Value becomes in decimal or else, so make try this formula in different cell.
I wonder why you are using =SUM(C3:C3) etc. That is, Why use the sum function on a single cell. Unless there is a specific reason, I suggest you use = C3 instead. I've found that using the summation on a single cell can sometimes return answers that are incorrect. Don't know why, but it does. Therefore, long ago I quit using the sum unless there is a range that includes more than one cell.
I want to generate values based on a condition statement:
If A1 is less than or equal to 500, then add 100
if A1 is less than 1000 and greater than 500 then add 200
if A1 is greater than or equal to 1000 then add 300
and so on.
How might I achieve this in Excel?
You can start with following formula and improvise. Not complete
=IF(F6<=500,F6+100,IF(F6<=1000,F6+200,"do more"))
Here F6 is cell in worksheet.
Read IF method help for more details.
Given "and so on", perhaps:
=A1+100*(1-(A1=500))+(INT(A1)-MOD(A1,500))/5
I have a row that will have weekly values entered. Column B has the initial value, and E has the calculation; as I add values to C, D and so on, I want the calculation to skip the previous columns value when the next column gets a value.
B1-C1=E1 BUT when a value is added to D1, E1 would update to B1-D1=E1
Sorry for the horrible description. This is probably answered somewhere on this site but I am not sure what terms to search.
Many thanks!
you can use an if statement. I am not 100% sure of your problem but something like this might be helpful.
if(A1, A1, 0)
So for your example provided.
=B1-if(D1, D1, C1)
This says if there is a value in D1 use D1 else use C1. This works in this example, because if
D1 is empty or 0 you will use the other cell. This may change for any given problem.
Use this if function in E1:
=IF(D1>0,B1-D1,IF(C1>0,B1-C1,B1))
Then enter a value in B1, then C1 then D1 to see the results.
According to your question, you only have room for two entries after the default B1 value. This statement will handle that.
If you need more fields, nest more if functions. But if's can only be nested 7 deep, so you can only have an initial value in B1 and 7 more cells, C1 to I1 with your formula in J1
If you actual data is as simple as your sample data you could just use:
=IF(LEN(D2)>0, B2-D2,B2-C2)
You could also use:
=IF(ISBLANK(D2), B2-C2, B2-D2)
if you prefer but Len is a little shorter and I believe the ISBLANK() function has flaws, If you have a formula in D2 that has a calculation and you set the result to "" then it will pick up as false. It depends on your needs.
I would do the following.
In E1 paste the following:
=A1-INDEX(B1:D1,1,COUNT(B1:D1))
The count formula will tell how many values are present in the range of B:D column. This will be used to catch the last column with an index formula which will be deducted form A1.
One thing is very important! The values from A to D has to be written in sequence, if one column is missing than the calculation will be false.
Hope I could help!
