If formula with values between x and y

Linsie · Feb 29, 2024

Hi,
I am working on a weight ranking for my projects. I have worked out all the totals etc but now getting stuck on my IF formula. Would be grateful for some assistance as been looking at it a while now and cant see where I am going wrong.

Some background. I have a chart where we have broken down the topics that will end up giving us a weight score. The sum total will tell us what the weight score is. ie if between 0-5 (0%) then the weight that should be returned is 0, between 5 and 10 (20%), then 1 should be returned and so on. Each weight is based on a %age of the points.

There is not any false statements on this, but if i took out the last ,"" then the formula would not work at all. Currently it just returns "FALSE" as the result.

The formula I was trying was (this is based on the Risk Category)
=IF(OR(G3=0,K3),IF(OR(G3>0,G3<5,K4),IF(OR(G3>5,G3<10,K5),IF(OR(G3>10,G3<15,K6),IF(OR(G3>15,G3<20,K7),IF(OR(G3>20,G3<25,K8),""))))))

Thanks in advance.

I think this does what you're after. Your original formula has the "result if true" condition inside of your "OR" statements, which is at least part of the problem. If you structure your IFs in ascending order, you shouldn't need the OR statements, as you'll always be comparing to a greater number at each step, and the IF will stop when it first encounters "true".

Amazing, thank you Asbestos_Jen! I had gone (as my boss puts it) excel blind and couldn't see the answer for looking.
Appreciate your assistance.

I just realized I was comparing to the wrong column (score value instead of risk). This should work better.

Thanks, I spotted that and changed it over to the risk column. Very happy now, I can now sleep without dreaming of the formula lol

Asbestos_Jen · Feb 29, 2024

Glad I could help.

KRice · Feb 29, 2024

@Linsie, I'm curious about the version of Excel you are using...you can update your profile to show that. I ask because there may be better ways to deal with the changing range references within each of the row groupings should the number of topics change within some of them.

And if you are interesting in an alternative formula for the Weight factor, this eliminates the need to use the reference table:

Excel Formula:

=INDEX({0,1,2,3,4,5},MATCH(TRUE,G3<={0,5,10,15,20,25},0))

Thanks Kirk, I am using Excel 2021 however, I am only using that to build my queries. I am then uploading them into Smartsheet. Not all formulas that are available in Excel are in Smartsheet. But I will certainly see if your approach will be accepted as well. Thank you.

KRice · Feb 29, 2024

Ahh...okay. The formula I posted should work, but it's probably better not to go further with the other formulas. Briefly, I thought about constructing an array to uniquely identify each row grouping, and then sum within those groups...but the approach relies on Excel 365 functionality. With that approach, you wouldn't need to specify different ranges for Risk (E3:E11), Costs (E12:E18), etc.
