formula using IF function

[bronxbabe]

i'm trying to place a formula in a cell using the "IF" function to obtain the
greater value of either: D49-D47 or D49 times 30%. is it possible i'm using
the incorrect function?

thanks in advance

Hi

=MAX(D49-D47,0.3*D49)

WONDERFUL. THANK U VERY MUCH. NOW I CAN GO TO SLEEP!

i'v been recking my brain for the past several hours b/c excel recommended
using the IF function -- not MAX.

thanks again,

well, after evaluation, my lengthy IF statement does work:
=IF(D49-D47>0.3*D49,D49-D47,0.3*D49), but the MAX is easier to read.

thanks again,
