Excel: Low, Medium, High IF, AND???

[Jon5]

Hi Guys,

I was hoping someone could help me (it's Probably really easy but I've tried for a while and can't work it out).

I have 2 columns next to each other where the answer in the cell can be either high, low or medium. I'm trying to come up with a formula for the 3rd column where it can bascally say if column 1 is high and colum 2 is low the answer for column 3 must be medium etc.

i.e.

Low + Low = Low
Low + Medium = Low
Low + High = Medium
Medium + Low = Low
Medium + Medium = Medium
Medium + High = High
High + Low = Medium
High + Medium = High
High + high = High

Can someone at least put me on the right track by letting me know if it is an IF formula or AND or both please.

Thanks,


Jon

Hello All, this is my first post so please bare with me. I have a very similar questions to this one in this thread.

The difference is instead of two columns of data I have THREE. I have THREE columns with the HIGH (H) MEDIUM (M) and LOW (L) as text entries.

The combination of the THREE columns should give the below results.

I tired using a formula (got it to work for two columns) but when trying to add the thrid I get errors. What is the best approach to handle this and thanks in advance this site is great!

To the original poster:

=IF(OR(A1&B1={"HighLow","LowHigh"}),"Medium",IF(A1=B1,A1,IF(COUNTIF(A1:B1,"Low"),"Low","High")))

Hello All, this is my first post so please bare with me. I have a very similar questions to this one in this thread.

The difference is instead of two columns of data I have THREE. I have THREE columns with the HIGH (H) MEDIUM (M) and LOW (L) as text entries.

The combination of the THREE columns should give the below results.

HHH High
HHM High
HMH High

HLH High
HHL High
HLL High

Concatenate the first three letters of each cell and do a VLOOKUP with your table.

I tired using a formula (got it to work for two columns) but when trying to add the thrid I get errors. What is the best approach to handle this and thanks in advance this site is great!

Create a range housing the above combinations and the corresponding values on a separate sheet. Select that range and name it (by means of the Name Box on the Formula Bar) COMBINATIONS.

You can invoke a VLOOKUP formula using the COMBINATIONS table as in the example below:

=IF(LEN(E2&F2&G2)=3,VLOOKUP(E2&F2&G2,COMBINATIONS,2,0),"")

E2, F2, and G2 are expected to house H, L, or M...

Hi All,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
This is exactly what I have been trying to do.<o></o>
My preference would be to have this done in a macro so users can’t mess it up.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Also (Asking a lot here) depending upon the result would trigger a calculation eg.<o></o>
<o> </o>
High = 6 weeks Medium = 12 weeks and Low = 18 weeks<o></o>
<o> </o>
So you have a start date DD/MM/YYYY then two possible H/M/L which calculate the finish date. <o></o>
<o></o>
So start date DD/MM/YYYY + (High = 6 weeks Medium = 12 weeks and Low = 18 weeks)= Finish date.<o></o>
<o> </o>
If the finish date is past then flags up in the next column<o></o>
<o> </o>
I hope that makes sense.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Many thanks<o></o>
<o> </o>
