IF Formula Returning Wrong Answer

May 1, 2014

I am trying to determine if I can write a formula that will read text in one cell, such as insurance and if true enter the amount from another cell and if false then 0. I have tried a IF statement by add the text to name manager. However, the answer is 0 rather than the amount in the selected cell. I might need to use a different formula or function.

Formula That Will Check Multiple Criteria Before Returning Answer?

May 14, 2014

Attached worksheet which is an sales incentive plan. I need cell B69 to represent the amount in b68 unless neither b30 or b99 are > 0. In other words if even 1 of the cells b30 or b99 come back positive, you get the amount in b68. If it comes back 0 in both cells b30 and b99, then they get 0.

Match Formula Returning Wrong Row Number

Nov 1, 2006

I have a spreadsheet, with a Match Formula, that appears not to work. It looks at cell F1, and scans through cell C2:C14, and want it to return the relevant row in Column B (My work network will not allow me to upload the file). Cell F1 is the name of the sheets within the workbook (one for every month). However my data currently only has Apr - Jun, but when I choose month May, the formula feturns Month June.

VLOOKUP Returning Wrong Value?

Jul 3, 2013

I am trying to use the Vlookup function to return State name based on the corresponding state code.

I have the list of State along with the Codes in adjacent sheet, arranged in ascending order. I am using the Vlookup function to list the State name based on the State code.

Vlookup function: Vlookup(A4,Sheet2.A2:B51,1)

This function returns me a wrong value. It gives "Arkansas" for the state code "AZ", when it should be Arkansas.

Also, if I add "FALSE" as a 4th argument, it returns "#N/A".

VLOOKUP Returning Wrong Value

Dec 14, 2006

I have this formula that returns a grade mark for a specific score in a test:

=VLOOKUP(D4,'Grade scale'!$A$34:$B$42,2)

using these values in the lookup table:

Low scoreGrade
0.0% U
25.0% G
35.0% F
45.3% E
55.3% D
65.5% C
72.0% B
78.0% A
85.0% A*

The problem comes where the Grade is A or A* as the Vlookup table can't differentiate the two. Anyone know how to modify the formula so that A and A* are seen as distinct values?

Vlookup Returning The Wrong Data?

Jul 10, 2014

I am working on a form to pull employee identifiers such as employee ID, store number as well as sales performance. I am using the below formula but the data that is being returned is not the correct data for the specific employee. C5 is the employee name (last name, first name) in a single cell. A sample of the spreadsheet I am trying to pull data from is attached. Some employees the formula pulls the right data and some it does not...

=IF(C5="","",VLOOKUP(C5,'Raw Data'!A3:N15,2))

Filtered Average Returning Wrong Value?

Jul 8, 2014

I have a table, let's call it Table1. Each column has the ability to filter but no filters are applied at the outset of this issue. I want to average a column labeled Column13. I also want to apply a filter to Column13 that states only show values over 50%. I apply the filter and in the cell I want the average calculated in I type the formula:

"=AVERAGE(101,Table1[Column13])"

The 101 (as far as I'm lead to believe) only applies the average to the rows *SHOWN*. However, the average I get back is 45.67%. This is obviously wrong as the filter states only show rows where the column is greater than 50%.

Mar 11, 2013

I am using this formula for long now

=SUMPRODUCT(('[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Nov 12'!$C$2:$C$251=$H$1)*'[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Nov 12'!$G$2:$G$251)

every month i just add a new sheet and change the month name in the formula to that eg

I changed it to

=SUMPRODUCT(('[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Dec 12'!$C$2:$C$251=$H$1)*'[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Dec 12'!$G$2:$G$251)

but now it is not calculating the answer is coming as #value!.

Then I tried to add up by

=VLOOKUP($H$1,'[Diesel Statement.xlsx]Dec 12'!$C$2:$G$215,5,TRUE)

but it does not add all the entries only one entry is shown.

I want the total of the column G. looking up for values in C = H1 value

Hiding Answer To Formula If One Cell Is Empty

Nov 5, 2009

Is there a way to have the answer to a formula display nothing if one of the cells have nothing. Example cell A3= A1*A2 ... it will naturally show 0.00 but even if both A1 and A2 are completely blank. Is it possible for A3 to show nothing if A1 or A2 or both contain nothing. I still want it to show 0.00 but only if that’s what is in the other cells.

Formula To Enable A Letter To Provide A Word As Answer

Apr 4, 2009

I have the following letters in cells
D2= A
D3=G
D4 =L

These represent Accomodation,Groceries, and Liquor.
Starting at E12 I want a formula , to drag down the column, which will show either Accomodation, Groceries or Liquor depending on the letter I put in cell D12,

Eventually I will possibly need help to summarise these costs on another sheet with other data such as fuel costs and fuel analysis but this will get me started.

Result In The Formula Editor Box Is Wrong

Nov 25, 2007

I can't seem to tell if my formula isn't correct in concept, or if this is a known problem with Excel 2000?

I have written a short formula that is pretty straightforward, but is giving a different result in Excel's "Formula Editor" box (when you hit the = button) than is showing in the cell itself. The Formula Editor's result is showing as "TRUE" which is what I believe is the correct value, but the cell itself is showing the "FALSE" result of a different incorrect value.

Formula Evaluate To The Wrong Conclusion

Nov 21, 2008

In cell A1 is 13.00, the result of a formula.
In cell A2 is the formula =IF(A1>14.00,True,False)
The result of this formula is TRUE
In cell A3 is the formula =15-A1
The result of this formula is 2

why the formula in cell A2 would evaluate to the wrong conclusion? All cells are formated as numbers.

Formula Referencing Wrong Cell

Aug 16, 2006

This does almost exactlly what I want. The one problem that I have is that the active cell remains B1 as it enters the formula in the rest of column B. I need it to refer to the row that it is entering the formulas; meaning each formula entered in B2,3,4, etc. is still referencing cells A1 & D1 for sBook & a sFilePath.

Dim sBook As String
Dim sFilePath As String
Dim sLen As Long

Range("B1").Select
sBook = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1)
sFilePath = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2)
sLen = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row

Range("B1").Formula = "='" & sFilePath & "[" & sBook & ".xls]Sheet1'!R1C1"
Range("B1", Cells(sLen, 2)).Formula = Range("B1").Formula

Wrong Data Type Error In Simple Array Formula

Jun 30, 2013

I am trying to use FIND and an array formula to find the position of text in a range of cells (A2 and A3 in the example) which could be one of a number of options (C1:D1 here). But the array formula throws up the following error: "A value used in the formula is of the wrong data type". The simplest illustration of the problem is as follows. The formula in B2 is

Code:
{=FIND(($C$1:$D$1),A2)}
and $C$1:$D$1 contain REF and ATM respectively. [/CODE]
REF
ATM
203047 05AUG 08.55 OKEHAMPTON ATM
#VALUE!
CO-OP GROUP 380611 REF 191 7553375222 BCC
22

We see that B2 has a #VALUE! error - wrong data type. But for some reason B3 is ok returning 22!
