What type of formula should be used in an array to.....
Posted by Sahaja on November 29, 2000 1:45 AM
calculate a figure dependant on different conditions. To explain:
So far I have used the following IF formula:=IF(C2:C600="B",E2:E600*G2:G600+(I2:I600+J2:J600+K2:K600),0)
but the problem is that the rows which are not already written in all show up with a 0 value rather than
changing when the B or S appears as I enter data.
Help will be most appreciated

I don't understand what you are trying to do. Can you explain further? Are you trying to put a formula result in each row? - that is, for each cell in C2:C600 if the value is "B", do your calculation based on the other columns' data in the same row?

I am trying to return a value in column M depending on the formula according to whether there is a B in column C. The problem is that once I have entered the formula as an array in column M it returns the value of 0 in the subsequent colums that I have not yet entered info.
Does this explain what i am trying to do as I am very new to this, thanks

If the problem is that you want to show nothing instead of zero when there is no data in Column C, then change your formula to :-
=IF(C2:C600="B",E2:E600*G2:G600+(I2:I600+J2:J600+K2:K600),"")
Also, check whether the following formula entered into M2 and filled down as far as is required does what you need :-
=IF(C2="B",E2*G2+I2+J2+K2,"")
