<eomonth($l6,0)+1),$e6,"")))))[ quote]

I am looking at the number of class hours per month across the year, and I have the table set up as such (e.g. 31/01/17, 28/02/17, 30/03/17 in the 3rd row from Q to AB) with the formula in the rows below. The first part of the formula makes the cell blank if a certain condition exists. If the type of record is "Days" I'd like for the number of hours to be multiplied by 5.5, and if it is "Hours" to keep the hours recorded. Adding the last IF statement creates the FALSE error and ignores the last IF statement - without it the formula works. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Code:
=IF(OR($N4=TRUE,$O4=TRUE),"",IF($F4="Days",IF(AND(Q$3>=$K4-DAY($K4)+1,Q$3<eomonth($l6,0)+1),$e6*5.5,if($f6="hours",if(and(q$3><
EOMONTH($L4,0)+1),$E4*5.5,
IF($F4="Hours",IF(AND(Q$3>=$K4-DAY($K4)+1,Q$3<
EOMONTH($L4,0)+1),$E4,"")))))

I had to separate the formula for it to be accepted. </eomonth($l6,0)+1),$e6*5.5,if($f6="hours",if(and(q$3></eomonth($l6,0)+1),$e6,"")))))[>

Some sample data with expected results would help others test possible solutions. I think I may have found your problem.

I put your formula into pseudo-code:
Rich (BB code):
If $N4 is True Or $O4 is True Then
    Return ""
Else
    If Q$3 >= ($K4 - DAY($K4) + 1) And Q$3 < (EOMONTH($L4, 0) + 1) Then
        Return $E4 * 5.5
    Else
        IF $F4 = "Hours" Then
            If Q$3 >= ($K4 - DAY($K4) + 1) And Q$3 < (EOMONTH($L4, 0) + 1) Then
                Return $E4
            Else
                Return ""
            Endif
        Else
            What happens if $F4 <> "Hours"?
        Endif
    Endif
Endif

IF F4 does not equal "Days", and does not equal "Hours", I'd like for the value to return $E4. I've already tried using <> in the formula, but it still returns FALSE.
