Simplify Multiple If Else Statements

Aug 24, 2007

I'm using one spreadsheet "Take Off", to pull data from a cell which dictates an objects shape, based on this shape I have a very large IF statement that pulls data from an adjacent cell where an objects dimensions are entered, the statement than proceeds to use these dimensions to calculate the weight of the object.

I've run into the problem with only 7 IF statements, I have gone online and tried to figure out how to avoid this since it is a common problem, but I can't figure out how to do it, most of the examples show very simple and basic formulas. I am unable to figure out how to translate this into my IF statement where I make reference to many cells as well as us differant formulas within the IF statement.

My latest solution was to breakdown the IF statements and try to my my own functions but I think I am too green to have done this properly. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The following is the code I'm working with followed by how I tried to remedy the situation:

=If(Or(C21="BPLT",C21="L"),(((Get_Word(D21,"First")+Get_Word(D21,3))/1000)*(Get_Word(D21,"Last")/1000)*(E21/1000)*7850),If(And(C21="PL",L21<4),(Get_Word(D21,"First")/1000*Get_Word(D21,"Last")/1000*E21/1000*7850), If(Or(C21="BP",C21="PL",C21="BAR"),(Get_Word(D21,"First")/1000)*(Get_Word(D21,3)/1000)*(Get_Word(D21,"Last")/1000)*7850, If(And(C21="HSS",L21>4),(Get_Word(D21,"First

I tried to make my own functions:

aCalc: =If(Or( 'Take-Off'!C13="BPLT",'Take-Off'!C13="L"),(((Get_Word('Take-Off'!D13,"First")+Get_Word('Take-Off'!D13,3))/1000)*(Get_Word('Take-Off'!D13,"Last")/1000)*('Take-Off'!E13/1000)*7850),"")

bCalc:

=If(And( 'Take-Off'!C13="HSS",'Take-Off'!L13>4),(Get_Word('Take-Off'!D13,"First")*2+Get_Word('Take-Off'!D13,3)*2)/1000*Get_Word('Take-Off'!D13,"Last")/1000*'Take-Off'!E13/1000*7850,"")

and so on until hCalc, but when I put them together in a cell like this:
=aCalc()+bCalc()+cCalc()+dCalc()+eCalc()....
I get an error #REF.

I realize a problem might be that I'm referencing a specific cell within my formulas, and many examples online show cells referenced in the form =A$1$, is there a differant way for referencing a cell, because currently I rely on Excel to automatically do this by way of relative reference.

ADDED: Ok I scrapped making the functions because I'm not sure and I did some research on VBA so I tried this one:

Function Weight(Shape As String, Amount As Double, Dimension As String, Optional Length As Variant)
If (Shape = "BPLT" Or Shape = "L") Then
If (Amount > 5) Then
Weight = Get_Word(Dimension, "First") / 1000 + Get_Word(Dimension, 3) / 1000 + Get_Word(Dimension, 5) / 1000 * Get_Word(Dimension, "Last") * 7850
Else
Weight = Get_Word(Dimension, "First") / 1000 + Get_Word(Dimension, 3) / 1000 * Get_Word(Dimension, "Last") * 7850
End If

But when I try to put Weight(C6,D6,F6,E6) I run into the error "Sub or Function Not Defined"

Simplify Calculations With Multiple Variables

May 29, 2014

How to streamline calculations that include multiple variables.

I am trying to calculate results against weighted objectives for multiple associates. Here is a very trimmed down version of the table I have currently:

Associate
Role
Function 1 Count
Function 1 Time
Function 1 Learning Curve
Function 2 Count
Function 2 Time
Function 2 Learning Curve
Function 3 Count
Function 3 Time
Function 3 Learning Curve

[Code] .....

There is an acceptable range (floor & ceiling) of performance for each Role/Function/LearningCurve. In the example above, let's say those ranges are as follows:

Rookie/Function1/A = 1-2
Rookie/Function2/C = 4-6
Rookie/Function3/X = 10-15

I currently run a calculation for that associate determining what % of total time was spent on each function. I multiply that by the floor & ceiling of each range, summing the floors & ceilings to produce a weighted range. Then, I compare their production total to that range. I have all this figured out. What I'm running into, though, is that this table is duplicated on a separate worksheet for each month of the year. Beyond that, each member of management maintains their unique workbook listing this information for their associates only. What I would like to do is publish/maintain only one "master" workbook for all associates, regardless of manager.

I tried creating a master table that inserted columns for Month & Manager in front of the columns above. I tried to use a PivotTable (brand new to that process), but I think that because I have certain variables (i.e., Role & LearningCurve) that are "stuck in the midst" of my data, I can't make heads or tails of the PT.

Currently, I have 3 columns per function (Count, Time & LC) as only one LC would exist in a given month for a given function. I figure I can set up the master sheet to have 8 columns per function (account for Count & Time per each of the 4 LC's possible), but that begins to become more cumbersome than what I have already.

In the end, I want to have a table that I can filter by month and/or manager and/or associate to which I can then apply the appropriate calculations. This would allow calculation for a single month or range of months as well as being able to calculate results for an associate regardless of potential reassignment to a different manager, and conversely being able to aggregate results for a given manager using data for whichever associates reported to them each month.

How To Simplify Sequential Logarithmic Decay Formula

Sep 29, 2008

I am trying to create a s/sheet whereby one can calculate how the concentration of an isotope changes (via an exponential decay) with respect to 2 variables:

1. its half-life (arbitrarily shown as 3 'units' in cell E2), and
2. its initial concentration or dose (arbitrarily shown as 100 units) AND subsequent additional exposures (arbitrarily shown as exposure to 50 units every 3 days) (shown in column E).

Thus for example, with an initial dose of 100 units (cell E6), after 3 days, the substance would have decayed by one half-life to 50 units. However, because there was an ADDITIONAL exposure of 50 concentration units on day 3, the EFFECTIVE dose on day 3 = 100 units.

Combining Multiple IF Statements

Nov 11, 2009

I have attached a sample spreadsheet for your review. I think I need to combine multiple IF statements into one single statement. See column I:

There is currently a formula in Column I that looks at Column H and computes a ROUND formula based on this information. Unfortunately, this formula only works if Column J says "MB". If Column J says "Minutes" then I need Column I to compute with this formula: =IF(H2<30,0.5,ROUNDUP(H2/60,1))

How can I combine this with the current formula to get what I am looking for? Here is the current formula (for MB): =IF(H2<0.125,0.125,ROUND(H2,4))

Enter In Multiple Vba If Statements

May 17, 2008

I have attached a copy of my monthly work schedule. Sorry if it looks too noobish but I am.
The question I have is on the schedule right now, it uses to of the same schedule, one is called request off and the other the final. The request off right now is where all changes are made, and they reflect on the final. I did it this way because I could not figure out how to make the cells autofill according to the day of the week, like if it was friday i needed it to fill in the shifts and normal days off automatically.

What I am trying to do now is eliminate the need for the second schedule, the request off one. I think I have figured out how to have the cells autofilled according to the day of the week, and also let the user enter in other stuff such as sick, vacation or whatever, and have it autofill if the cell is left blank, using vba. this is what i have so far, and it is working I was just wondering if it was possible to set it up for a range of cells instead of having to enter each one in manually.

For example 456-401/2-1569 in cell A2 will populate ceilings in B2. I know I can create If statements but I can only figure out how to do this to search for one text and populate one word. I know Vlookup is possible but this spread sheet will be blank and as people populate there information I need the cells to automatically populate the data into the B column. how I can create the right formula?

Multiple IF(AND Statements In One Formula

Feb 28, 2014

I am trying to tell the spreadsheet to look at each separate month and return different criteria. Current formula for single month search is:

=IF(VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,2,0)"","B",IF(VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,3,0)"","C",IF(VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,4,0)"","D",IF(VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,5,0)"","E",IF(VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,6,0)"","F","")))))

I would like to add an AND function so that the IF statement also looks at the month which is represented in this case as $E$7, the formula I have been trying is:

=IF(AND($E$7=WeekNos.!$A$2,VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,2,0)"","B",IF(AND($E$7=WeekNos.!$A$2,VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,3,0)"","C",IF(AND($E$7=WeekNos.!$A$2,VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,4,0)"","D",IF(AND($E$7=WeekNos.!$A$2,VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,5,0)"","E",IF(AND($E$7=WeekNos.!$A$2,VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,6,0)"","F")

Then carry this forward for other months, for example, a later look at this formula would be:

=IF(AND($E$7=WeekNos.!$A$2,VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,2,0)"","B",IF(AND($E$7=WeekNos.!$A$2,VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,3,0)"","C",IF(AND($E$7=WeekNos.!$A$2,VLOOKUP($E5,'PO Info'!$A:$AW,4,0)"","D",IF(AND($E$7=WeekNos.!$A$2,VLOOKUP($E5,'PO

Multiple Checkbox If Statements

Jan 18, 2010

I have a userform with 14 independant checkboxes on and would like it when the operator presses the 'go' button for the code to look at each box and if ticked put a "Y" in the column on a spreadsheet associated with that checkbox.

I have this portion of code set for each checkbox within the sub function, but it's a lot of code for something relatively simple:

If GroupFinder.firstbox.Value = True Then
Worksheets("Number one").Range("C" & grouprow).Value = "Y"
Worksheets("Number one").Range("C" & grouprow).ClearComments
Worksheets("Number one").Range("C" & grouprow).AddComment
Worksheets("Number one").Range("C" & grouprow).Comment.Text Text:="Added by:" & Operator & Chr(10) & "On:" & Date
Else

Is there an easy and quicker way of doing this without all this code for each of the 14 checkboxes? I'm sure there is, but I can't figure it out.

I'm trying to keep the code simplified for others who follow after and might not follow VBA so well.

Alternative To Multiple If/Then/Else Statements

Aug 23, 2006

I have are two listboxes set up, one with all the states, the other with 7 possible variable selections. So in my case I have 371 (DC, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are included as states in this) possible combinations here. With each combo the user needs to be able to enter up to 2 years of quarterly data (8 quarters, so 2968 pieces of data possible) and then press a button to save that data to a specified location which I will need to access at run of the overall macro.

Is there an easier way to do this then to simply assign each combination a cell? Maybe an If State = AK and Variable = TUR then find column = AK & row = TUR (per quarter) type solution?

Multiple IF Statements With Multiple Results?

Jun 20, 2014

I have a worksheet and in one of my columns I can have multiple values, this could either be a valid numeric value, .e.g "Trace" or a value such as >1.5 or it could be blank.

Depending on the value I then want to return a different result in another cell.

In the example I have tried my data is in cell E8

I have tried the following formula and failed miserably, I'm not sure whether IF or IF OR can cope with this.

=IF(E8>=0,"1",IF(E8<0,"Invalid",IF(E8="Trace","2",IF(ISBLANK(E8),"4",IF(LEFT(E8,1=">"),"5")))))

If E8 contains a numeric value equal or greater than 0 then I want it to return a value of 1, this works

If E8 contains a value that is negative then I want my formula to then display "Invalid"

If E8 contains the word "Trace" to return a value of 2

If E8 is blank then to return a value of 4

If the first character in E8 is ">" then return a value of 5

Using Multiple IF Statements Then Coming Up With Average

Jun 22, 2014

Here is the first required formula, which will go in cell P7:

If N7>=75 a value of "Y" should be returned. If not, a value of "N" should be returned. BUT if N7 is blank, a blank should be returned.

Here is the second required formula, which is more complicated, and will go in cell Q7:

(1) If Cell P7="Y", then a "Y" needs to be returned in the cell.
(2) If Cell O7>=2, then a "Y" needs to be returned in the cell. If not, then a "N" needs to be returned.
(3) If Cell P7 is blank, then the cell needs to remain blank.

Here is the final formula, which will go at the bottom of the page.

I need the Q column to return an average of the number of "Y" values, not counting the blanks as numbers. (For instance, if there were 18 "Y"s, 2 "N"s, and one blank, the value returned would be 0.90.).
