Hello,

I am trying to complete an IF function based on the following.

Cell B2 has a value of 3388 and Cell C2 has a value of 990.

I need to work out..

If B2 is greater than C2*2, yes and if not, no.

This is what it I am using at the moment...

=IF(B2>C2*2,"yes","no")

Everything is coming out as Yes, it doesn't look like it is multiplying C2 by 2.

Any help is much appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Nearly there, but need some extra brackets
=IF(B2>(C2*2),"yes","no")

Also, if you are happy with TRUE/FALSE rather than yes/no, then you could just use:
=B2>(C2*2)
