How to Express a Multi IF Statement Q

[John]

How can I express the following in a formula

If B1 is greater than 4.5 but less than or = 5.9 AND B2 <0.15 THEN "Less
than Min" +

If B1 is greater = 4.5 AND B2 <0.15 THEN "Less than Min" +

If B1 is greater than 4.5 but less than or = 5.9 AND B2 >0.15 THEN "Blank" +

If B1 is greater than 5.9 AND B2 <0.30 THEN "Less than Min" +

Otherwise "Blank"

Overall if B1 < 4.49 then it doesn't matter whats is B2, formula should
return "Blank", and if B1 = 0, then "Blank" also regardless f whats in B2

I hope I've made it clear and covered all scenarios. The above should be in
one cell hence the + I've used. I'm just getting confused trying to
construct it

Thanks

I didn't go thru the whole thing or test but this idea should help. Start at
the TOP

=IF(B1>5.9,IF(B2>0.3,"goodie",IF(B1>=4.5,IF(B2>0.15,"Notsogoodie","baddie"))))

Thanks Don

=IF(B1>5.9,IF(B2>0.3,"goodie",

Up to above looks good but how do I continue with the formula by saying IF
B1>=4.5 BUT B1<5.9,IF(B2<0.15,"baddie","baddie"))))

The bit thats catching me out is the "Between 4.5 and 5.9"

The overall effect I'm trying to create is to check to see that if B1 is
between 4.5 and 5.9 then B2 must be at least 0.15. If B2 is greater than 5.9
then B2 must be at least 0.30

Thanks

try this idea this way to learn and then expand within. Start with higher
number. If c5 is higher than 5 it doesn't matter what the others are.......
=if(c5>5,"a",if(c5>4,"b",if(c5>3,"c")))
then change the resulting "b" to the if within

Don thanks for your lead

I compiled the following formula, its not quite correct

=IF(B1>5.99,IF(C1>=0.3,"OK"),IF(B1>4,IF(C1>=0.15,"OK"),"BAD"))

I have the values 6 in B1 and 0.29 in C1. I wish to return "BAD", but I get
a FALSE value returned. I guess I have a bracket in wrong or such like


Thanks

Hi John

Maybe
=IF(B1>5.99,IF(C1>=0.3,"OK","BAD"),
IF(B1>4,IF(C1>=0.15,"OK","BAD"),"BAD"))

Thanks Roger was able to tune it ever so slightly and obtained the right
result with the FALSE statements

=IF(B1>=(6/24),IF(C1>=(30/1440),"OK","BAD"),IF(B1>=(4.5/24),IF(C1>=(15/1440),"OK","BAD"),IF(B1<(4.5/24),IF(C1>=0,"OK","BAD"),"BAD")))
