I want to say IF cell L27 equals the word 'low' then do sum of cell x * cell y, if cell L27 equals the work "expected" then do Sum of Cell a * b and if cell L27 equals the word "Potential" then do sum of cell D * cell F.

So three different sums depending on whihc of three words are in cell L27. Can anyone help please

Good morning,

The logic for that formula is as follows:
=if(logic check,true,false)

you can nest if statement like so:
=if(logictest,true,if(anotherlogictest,true,false))

I hope this gives you some direction.

Sorry that does not really help, I need it drawn out specifically because despite several attempts I am clearly not getting it right. I am a basic excel user to the formula to copy and see is what I am after

Many Thanks

some cell contains the following formula checking ofr contents of cell L27:

ANSWER-YOU MAYHAVE TO ACTUALLY USE SOME abstract thinking and PUT IN THE CORRECT CELLS, but the wirework has been done for you, I really hope this isn't for a school project, or a graded assignment as i just gave the answer which is why I do not HOLD HANDS around here like alot of others!


=if(L27="low",X*Y,if(L27="expected",A*B,if(L27="potential",D*F,"EMPTY")))



So, there you have it.....that does work....
I'm done with this site. I came here for help, helped while I was waiting, and I have had my hand slapped for walking on toes, but I still get walked on! Have fun Unlocking Facebook and DL WHATSAPP!
