IF statement problem

[Fin2022]

Hello,

I'm having trouble with calculating a formula. Refer to the numbers below for the questions.

1. I want to calculate if the PIR price equals the Invoice price to change the PO price to the PIR price.
2. Then if the PIR price and Invoice price don't match up, color code the Invoice with red. Unless the PO price is equal to the Invoice price. Then leave the invoice price alone.

[TABLE="width: 261"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]PO Price[/TD]
[TD]PIR Price[/TD]
[TD]Invoice Price[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: right"]1.6283[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]1.6283[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]1.7283[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody><colgroup><col span="2"><col></colgroup>[/TABLE]

Using a formula in cells where data already exists (in this case the cell for the PO Price) isnt a good idea because the formula will overwrite the values already in that cell. I'd suggest a macro to evaluate the cell values then make changes accordingly. but if you want to continue to try to use a formula i'd suggest a new cell for Adjust PO Price. the Adjusted PO Price wout be the PO price after the logical statements are evaluated.

Col A | Col B |Col C |Col D
PO Price | PIR Price | Inv Price | Adjusted PO Price
1.6283 | 1.6283 | 1.7283 | =IF(B2=C2, B2, A2)

then use conditional formatting on cell D2 with the formula: =$B2<>$C2 and then enter the desired formatting for when that condition is met.

Good luck.
