Hi all

I'm trying to do multiple IFs and having problems.

The below if in place at the moment, and basically pulls the £'000 value from another location for set parameters -

=IF(F$8=1,EntGLActual($C$1,F$3,F$2,F$7,$A12),0)/1000

The output here is set to 1 decimal place, and zeroes showing as "-"

But if this value is originally, say £40, this will return a value of 0 in the cell rather than "-" because there is a value there, but it rounds to nil.

How can I enter another if string to that formula which is based on the output from the above? So basically, anything which is >0.1 for the above formula, show as the formula's output, but anything below that show as zero rather than the rounded down to nil which shows now.

Thanks very much.

Thanks, but I was wondering if it was possible to combine it into the original formaula above.

So it will pull through the value from the original source and divide by 1000, but if the result is less than 0.1 it should return 0 (rather than 0.04 which would display as 0.0 and thus won't be displayed as "-" when formatting is applied).

your col A is text, not a number

say A2 is A 0.00 this is clearly text you need to convert the "0.00" to 0:00

Sorry if I'm being dense, but that doesn't seem to answer my problem. I know that formula on its own will show anything under 0.1 as 0 but I don't know how to combine it with my original formula because it's the output of that formaul I want to apply to new IF function to.

=IF(F$8=1,EntGLActual($C$1,F$3,F$2,F$7,$A12),0) you cannot divide an either / or by 1000 you have to divide each by a thousand or just one of them
