Hello Everyone,

I am trying to make a formula work and I'm having a headache from it.

Here it is:

=IF(AND($B$2<"5.9", $B$9="1.012"),$B$2-"0.1")

Very basic, or so I thought, but it does not give the right answer.

What I am trying to do is on Cell $F$19 I want to check IF B2 is 5.9 or less AND B9 is 1.012 THEN B2 minus 0.1

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ralph Lemus

I have 5.8 in B2 I have 1.012 in B9
With your formula, the result is 5.7 not 5.8

Yes, I know some basic things about it but not all cause there are so many functions.
I use it every day for my work and when I need new functions to facilitate my work, I search in Excel help file or to Internet.

Normal that it doesn't work because as I said to the message N°<11>, you have to write =IF(AND(B2<=5.9, B9=1.012), B2-0.1,""), cause "greater than or equal "sign is "<=" in Excel. Try it.

=IF(AND(test1,test2,test3,...),true result, false result)

Example: If A1>B1 and C1<D1 then the result is 5, otherwise it's 0. As a nested IF statement:

=IF(A1>B1,IF(C1<D1,5,0),0)

Using AND, it's a little neater:

=IF(AND(A1>B1,C1<D1),5,0)

Remove the absolute cell reference and try it. Some people overuse absolute cell references, and cause themselves a headache when it doesn't work the way they THOUGHT it worked when they changed the table.

So basically us it like so:

=IF(AND(B2<"5.9",B9="1.012"),B2-"0.1",)

Thanks

Yep. Also, and I just realized this, take your numbers out of quotation marks.

=IF(AND(B2<5.9, B9=1.012), B2-0.1)

Hopefully this helps!

For some reason I'm getting a "FALSE" in the cell. Here is my formula again:

=IF(AND(B2<5.9,B9=1.012),B2-0.1)


Thanks

Hi,
It is normal that you have this error because you forgot to indicate what will happen (then the formula to calculate) if this condition is not respected.
=IF(AND(B2<5.9,B9=1.012),B2-0.1,false result)
Best regards

The funny part is that it's right. I should get an answer and it's giving a false answer. I have 5.8 in B2 I have 1.012 in B9 so essentially i should get 5.8 as an answer. But it's not.

Write your formula like this :
=IF(AND(B2<=5.9,B9=1.012),B2-0.1,false result)

Hi,
Could you tell me what is happened, what sort of result you had ?
Please load a brief example of your excel file (without any private or personal data) on https://authentification.site then copy past the created link to your next answer.
See you

Ok, here it is

https://authentification.site/914280127.html

The thing is that it does not give the right answer. It gives a blank answer/nothing in the cell.

Thanks so much.

Ok, what I have seen is that your cells format is in Text format then you have to put it in Number format otherwise Excel can't calculate the formula.
See you

Ok, So went ahead and changed that cell to number and I still don't get a correct answer.
Any other thought?

You have to change the format for all cells. Did you?

It does not give the number that need. The answer should be 5.8, since i have it like follows, it does not show anything:

=IF(AND(B2<5.9, B9=1.012), B2-0.1,"")
