Hi Everyone,

I have a =IF formula that works great thanks to people here, the problem I would like to solve is a description issue, the example is

6x6 or 4x6 etc.

Here is my formula

=IF(M12=4,N12*1.5709*4.25,IF(M12=5,N12*2.4545*4.25,IF(M12=6,N12*3.5345*4.25,"")))

I need as an example M12=6x6, where 6x6 is a description similar to a word, so the formula would still calculate correctly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
