Need help with formula please
Posted by Charlotte Pulkowski on January 07, 2002 2:31 AM
I need help with the following formula: =IF(O13=0," ",IF(P13="",IF(O13=1,100,IF(O13=2,200,IF(O13=3,300,IF(O13=4,400,IF(O13>=5,500," ")))))*1,IF(O13=1,100,IF(O13=2,200,IF(O13=3,300,IF(O13=4,400,IF(O13>=5,500," "))))))) I need this to also calculate the following: if P13="X" multiply by 0.7 and if P13="XX" multiply by 0.5 and if P13= "XXX" multiply by 0.0 all in the same formula. I do not seem to be able to make it work on all four scenarios.

Not sure about the multiplication part, but it looks like
=IF(O13>0,VLOOKUP(O13,{1,100;2,200;3,300;4,400;5,500},2)*VLOOKUP(LEN(P13),{0,1;1,0.7;2,0.5;3,0},2,0),"")
will do what you want.

The solution does not seem to work. The spreadsheet is set up to pay bonuses. O13 = the number of works that they worked and if they worked 5 weeks they would get $500. P13 covers the number of penalties, so if it has two XX's or even the number 2, the bonus would be paid at 50% or $250. The formula is in cell Q13. Do you have any further sugestions? Thanks

I can't visualize the situation with sufficient accuracy. Is it possible that you send me your workbook (scaled down or as is) or post 15 rows data here, along with expected results?

I really appreciate your time in trying to help me. I am new to this site. I would love to send this little excel sheet to you but am unsure how to do this. Could you please let me know. Thanks
