Excel Formulas

[Struggling]

I need to create a formula on excel. If a person is under 40 he will not
need a medical until he is 40. If he reaches 40, he will have to have one
every 5 years and if he is over 50, it will be every year...I just cant get
it to work!!

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
suppose that the age is in cell C2 and you want the formula in D2 so enter

=if(C2<40,"Medical Exam not needed", if(C2=>40,"Medical exam every 5
years","Medical Exam every year"))

if this helps please click yes thanks

I tried Eduardo's formula and it's close, but, I think this minor alteration
will do what you're asking:

=IF(C3<40,"Medical Exam not needed",IF(C3>50,"Medical exam every
year","Medical Exam every 5 years"))

In the original formula, the logic gives the same result whether the age is
between 41 and 50, or is greater than 50. I tried age values of 54, 45, 32,
51, 50, 49, 40, and 39, and all gave what I'm reading as the correct result.

Hope this helps.
