IF statements with negative values

[ypatel1990]

Hey everyone,

I currently have a column with a list of percentages of year over year change and am trying to create a column next to it to show different groupings that it would fall under for a pivot table. I keep getting the value false when running my if statements. I have an example of what I am trying to do in the Grouping column below. Not sure if the numbers being percentages is causing problems but I tried to copy and paste the column as values but all of the numbers changed.

YOY	Grouping
0.0%	0
-25.7%	-49 to -1
800%	100+
-80.3%	-100 to -50
52%	50 to 100

<TBODY>
</TBODY>

Please post your formula.

Please post your formula.

This is the formula I have been trying to get to work. It only includes the negative range so far but it isnt working IF(AM2=0,"0",IF(AM2<-50,AND(AM2>-100,"-50 to -100",IF(AM2<-1,AND(AM2>-49,"-1 to -49","out of range")))))

How about?

=LOOKUP(A2,{-1,-0.5,0,0.1,0.5,1},{"-50 to -100","-1 to -49","0","1 to 50","50 to 100","100+"})

How about?

=LOOKUP(A2,{-1,-0.5,0,0.1,0.5,1},{"-50 to -100","-1 to -49","0","1 to 50","50 to 100","100+"})

This actually works great. How exactly does the formula differentiate between the ranges like 0 and -1 to -49 when everything is just seperated with commas?

The curly braces contain array constants. LOOKUP finds the largest item in the first array that is less than or equal to the lookup value and returns the item at the same position in the second array.

Thats makes much more sense now. This is so much simpler in comparison to a bunch of IF AND statements for all ranges.
