=P10+ROUND(SUM(O10*O10*M10*0.7854)/10000,3),IF(M10>11.8,"CNB",P10)

The final result in cell AV10 must be the value in cell P10 plus ROUND(SUM... [HOWEVER] if value in cell M10 is higher than 11.8 cell AV10 should show "CNB" otherwise just show the original value in cell P10.

Many thanks...

Hi J1969c,

You are missing a condition:
IF M10>11.8 THEN ,"CNB" ELSE P10

So it is either "CNB" or P10.

What is the condition for?:
P10+ROUND(SUM(O10*O10*M10*0.7854)/10000,3)

Once you know that, formula should be:

=IF(CONDITION,P10+ROUND(SUM(O10*O10*M10*0.7854)/10000,3),IF(M10>11.8,"CNB",P10))

Best regards,
Trowa

The CONDITION is that the result of this formula must be the value in cell P10 plus ROUND(SUM... [HOWEVER] if value in cell M10 is higher than 11.8 cell AV10 should show "CNB" otherwise just show the original value in cell P10.

It seems you are confused as to what a condition is.

A condition can either be true or false.

You have given 1 condition: M10>11.8

If this is true then the result is: "CNB"
If this is false then the result is: P10

Now you want to add another result, so you also need to add another condition.



For example your condition for the ROUND formula could be: N10=""

So if N10 is empty then use ROUND formula, if N10 is not empty then check the other condition.

In the above scenario the formula will look like:
=IF(N10="",P10+ROUND(SUM(O10*O10*M10*0.7854)/10000,3),IF(M10>11.8,"CNB",P10))


Hopefully this clarifies things a bit more.

Best regards,
Trowa
