This is a simplified version of what I have in MySQL that I'm struggling to turn into a formula:

SQL:
IF C2 < B2 * 1.01 AND C2 - B2 > 20000 then "Over Budget"

IF C2 > B2 * 1.01 AND C2 - B2 > 5000 then "Over Budget"

else "Under Budget"

What I have so far is this (and I know I still need to add the 2nd line in):

Excel Formula:
=IF(AND(C2<=(B2*1.01),C2-B2>=20000),"Over Budget","Under Budget")

It's marking everything as Under Budget, which shouldn't be the case. Can someone identify what I've done wrong?

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
try the and() in a cell and see if you get true or false and change some values
you probably need a nested IF

IF C2 < B2 * 1.01 AND C2 - B2 > 20000 then "Over Budget"

IF C2 > B2 * 1.01 AND C2 - B2 > 5000 then "Over Budget"

OR
AND(C2>=(B2*1.01),C2-B2>=5000)

=IF(OR( AND(C2<=(B2*1.01),C2-B2>=20000), AND(C2>=(B2*1.01),C2-B2>=5000)),"Over Budget","Under Budget")

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone

Solution
Try changing your "AND" to "OR", i.e.
Excel Formula:
=IF(OR(C2<=(B2*1.01),C2-B2>=20000),"Over Budget","Under Budget")
