Nested Ifs function with date and calculation

[Rcaaa]

=IFS(C14=YEAR(D8),(E8/H3),C14=YEAR(D9),(E9/H4),C14=YEAR(D10),(E10/H5))


Above is my formula that is not working.
I am trying to get a spreadsheet that automatically distributes the budget evenly based on each year by month. Does anyone have advice on how to correct my formula?

=IF(C14=YEAR(D8),(E8/H3),IF(C14=YEAR(D9),(E9/H4),IF(C14=YEAR(D10),(E10/H5),"")))

IFS is not a formula. If you want a nested if, in the "if false" section you need to put IF(logic test, if true, if false)

The formula I provided should give you a blank cell if it does not equal any of those cells

 

[jondavis1987]

If it has to be one of those cells, this formula will also work for you

=IF(C14=YEAR(D8),(E8/H3),IF(C14=YEAR(D9),(E9/H4),E10/H5))

The IFS function checks whether one or more conditions are met, and returns a value that corresponds to the first TRUE condition. IFS can take the place of multiple nested IF statements, and is much easier to read with multiple conditions.

[jondavis1987]

Well, learn something new everyday. I've only got the 2013 version. A better nested if function would have been nice a year ago when i was setting stuff up

 

[DanteAmor]

All the time we are learning, and especially in excel

 

[jondavis1987]

Well, I don't know how to give you an ifs formula since i can't play with it, but the one i provided should work.

But in C14 do you have a date?
In D8 you only have the year?

Then
This:
C14=YEAR(D8)

Should be:
YEAR(C14) = D8

Do you need to compare cell by cell or rather look for the year of C14 in a range of cells D8: D10 and get the value of column E?

 

[jondavis1987]

Going off his table and the labels, D8 is a date. I didn't realize he's also got dates where C14 should go. If dates are in C14, this is the way to go

=IF(YEAR(C14)=YEAR(D8),(E8/H3),IF(YEAR(C14)=YEAR(D9),(E9/H4),IF(YEAR(C14)=YEAR(D10),(E10/H5),"")))

or in your original format

=IFS(YEAR(C14)=YEAR(D8),(E8/H3),YEAR(C14)=YEAR(D9),(E9/H4),YEAR(C14)=YEAR(D10),(E10/H5))

Hello,

Thank you both for your help. It is working now!

Yes, I have a date in C14 (Now D14 after adding in a column to separate the year from the 12/5/19 date)
I also created a column with a monthly budget rate instead of dividing it in the formula(400,000/1 month - AKA E8/H3).


=IF($D14=($E$8),($J$3),IF($D14=($E$9),($J$4),IF($D14=($E$10),($J$5),"")))

Thanks again,

RCAAA
