Can I add a percentage formula to an IF statement?

[Guest]

I would like to me able to add percentages to an IF formaule allow for a
margin of error, say 10%. If anyone knows a way round it be much obliged.
the cell reads "=if(H2<=10%, "TRUE", if(h2=h3, "true", if(h2>10%, "false")))

Thanks

Hi Abs

We need something to set the 10% against.
Lets say G2 is what you are comparing, and you want a result of true if
H2 is within 10% plus or minus of that value.

=IF(ABS(H2-G2)/G2<=10%,"true","false")
