help with an if, and if, or formula.

[dpetersman]

Hello again all,

I'm hoping one of you fine folks can lend me a hand again. I'm trying to figure the formula to use for the following scenario. i'll try to explain it so that it doesn't confuse ya too much (or myself for that matter)


A1 = RATE 1
A2 = RATE 2

B1 = HOURS WORKED
B2 = DIFFERENTIAL (this is essentially a makeshift "check box" where if "x" is entered, it means this person has a different rate for that day.

Now what I'm trying to get is...

C1 =

 if B1="0" then "0.00" or if B1>"0" then B1*A1  or if B1>"0" AND B2="x" OR B2="X" then B1*A2

in other words,

if zero hours are worked(B1), then output "0.00"
if more then zero hours are worked, then hours worked(B2) times Rate 1 (A1)
if more then zero hours are worked and there is an "x" or "X" in B2, then hours worked times rate 2 (A2)


Thanks for any help ya can offer

You are putting quotes around the 0 as if this is numbers stored as text. I'm guessing that that is wrong and that the numbers are stored as numbers.

=B1*IF(UPPER(B2)="X",A1,A2) should do what you want.


If my assumption was wrong and B1,A1 and A2 are text instead of numbers,

=(B1+0)*IF(UPPER(B2)="X",A1+0,A2+0) will be the formula.

Your assumption was indeed correct. I'm not exactly sure why I was putting the quotes around the 0

At any rate, only :28 minutes for the perfect answer! Worked like a charm!

Thank you so much
