Populating Cell Using Other Cell Data

I am trying to populate a new column using number values from another, as seen bellow.

The middle column is what the left column should look like, but with a formula. Here is the formula I have come up with for the left column:

=IF(AND([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]]<33,[@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]=]=>1),"T8","T12"),IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]]=0,"","")

Essentially, if the right column is less than 33, I want the left column to say "T8", if it's greater than 33, I want it to say "T12" and if the right column is a zero, I don't want the left column to list anything. Is there an easy fix to my formula, or do I need to completely alter it?

Thanks for the help!

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Hi,

This should work for you, I have assumed at 33 you want "T12":

Code:
 =IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- NumberValue Only]]=0,"", IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- NumberValue Only]]>=33,"T12","T8"))

Thank you very much, it was a success. However, I did post one more thing, hopefully you can help:

Hi everyone,

I am currently using this formula to populate cells, based off of another cells value:

=IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]]=0,"", IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]]>=33,"T12","T8"))

This formula only looks at the numerical value of one column in order to populate another. However, I want the formula to also determine if the new cells should be populated based off of a second columns values. I want the formula to look at the numerical value as it does now, while also looking to see if the "Baseline Action Code" column starts with an "M". If it does, I don't want it to list anything, just a "" value in the new column.

Here is what I was thinking, but it doesn't seem to work for me (I know formatting of the LEFT statement is incorrect, I just need help with it). I'm assuming I need an "AND" function but I'm not sure:

=IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]]=0,"", IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]]>=33,"T12","T8"),IF(LEFT([@[Baseline Action Code]],1)="M"(""))

Thank you very much for all the help

Try this:
Code:
=[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]IF(LEFT([@[Baseline Action Code]],1)="M",[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]]=0,"", IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]]>=33,"T12","T8")),"")

Thank you for this. The only thing about that code line is that it only lists "T12" or "T8" values if the Baseline Action Code starts with an "M". I want it to populate everything but the cells that start with an "M". There are "S" "W" "I" "T" "C" values in the Baseline Action Code that I want to list values for while ignoring any that start with an "M".
I hope that makes sense, let me know if I need to clarify.
Thanks!

Hi, below should work, tried replying you on mail but your mailbox is full and gave an error

Code:
=IF(LEFT([@[Baseline Action Code]],1)<>"M",IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]]=0,"", IF([@[Wattage (bulb)- Number Value Only]=]=>=33,"T12","T8")),"")
