Hello,
I am having considerable trouble trying to get a combo of all three to function as intended. A very simplistic explanation. If 1 class is greater than 0 and 1 class is less than 0 then take the class with the greater ABS.

My Formula:=IF(OR(AND(B2<0,B3>0,B2>0,B3<0),AND(ABS(B2)<ABS(B3))),"Yes","No")

Formula works, but breaks down if cell B2 is positive 100 it also gives me a value of yes. Anyone able to help :)

Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
But a value can not be greater than 0 and also less than 0.

f 1 class is greater than 0 and 1 class is less than 0 then

Better explain with your examples what data you have and what result you expect in each case. List all possible cases.

So maybe that is the problem. So I have 4 options/scenarios. Options 3 and 4 breakdown in my formula

Option 1: neither class has values (if true then Yes)
Option 2: Both Class have positive or both have negative values (if true then Yes)
Option 3: One of the classes is positive and the other is negative, ABS of Class 1 > 2 (if true then Yes)
Option 4: One of the classes is positive and the other is negative, ABS of Class 1 < 2 (if true then Yes)

Try this

=IF(AND(B2="",B3=""),"Yes both empty",
IF(OR(AND(B2>0,B3>0),AND(B2<0,B3<0)),"Yes Both positive or negative",
IF(AND(B2<0,B3>0),IF(ABS(B2)>B3,"Yes class1 greater",
IF(AND(B2>0,B3<0),IF(B2<ABS(B3),"Yes class1 lesser","No Class1 greater"),"Undefined A")),"Undefinido B")))

I put different "Yes" and its description so you can do your tests and see the results.
You also have several cases that are not met, I also put a "No" and "Undefined."


Undefined examples:
-100 and 200
200 and -100
0 and 0
0 and 100
0 and -100
empty and 100
100 and empty
100 and -100
-200 and 200
100 and 0
-100 and 0

The 4th formula I can't seem to replicate. is it missing an expression? Or maybe I am just copying it over wrong</abs(b3),"yes>

So I created a 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b. I guess how could I combine the formulas?

3a: =IF(AND(B2<0,B3>0,ABS(B2)>ABS(B3)),"Yes","No")
3b: =IF(AND(B2>0,B3<0,ABS(B2)>ABS(B3)),"Yes","No")
4a: <abs(b3)),"yes","no")
=IF(AND(B2<0,B3>0,ABS(B2)<ABS(B3)),"Yes","No")
4b: =IF(AND(B2>0,B3<0,ABS(B2)<ABS(B3)),"Yes","No")

<abs(b3)),"yes","no")< html=""></abs(b3)),"yes","no")<></abs(b3)),"yes","no")

Not sure why 4a and 4b are getting cut off.

4a: IF(AND(B2<0,B3>0,ABS(B2)<ABS(B3)),"Yes","No")
4b: IF(AND(B2>0,B3<0,ABS(B2)<ABS(B3)),"Yes","No")

4b: IF(AND(B2>0,B3<0,ABS(B2)<abs(b3)),"yes","no")[ quote]


I AM GOOD. I solved it! Thanks for leading me to the light Dante</abs(b3)),"yes","no")[></abs(b3)),"yes","no")

It is a single formula a big formula:

=IF(AND(B2="",B3=""),"Yes both empty",IF(OR(AND(B2>0,B3>0),AND(B2<0,B3<0)),"Yes Both positive or negative",IF(AND(B2<0,B3>0),IF(ABS(B2)>B3,"Yes class1 greater",IF(AND(B2>0,B3<0),IF(B2<ABS(B3),"Yes class1 lesser","No Class1 greater"),"Undefined A")),"Undefinido B")))

I'm glad to help you. Thanks for the feedback.
