I have to calculate a freight percentage based on 2 cells that on occation
will not always both have a value present.

Most of the time it looks like this.

Sales $100.00
Freight $25.00
Percent 25.00%

Sometimes I will be missing one or the other number (see below). When the
sales number is not there and the freight is, then I need the percentage to
be 100.00% and when the freight isn't there and the sales are, the percentage
needs to read 0.00%.

Sales $0.00
Freight $25.00
Percent 25.00%

or

Sales $100.00
Freight $0.00
Percent 0.00%

I know this should be easy but I've tried different combinations of "If" and
"AND" statements but can't get it to work.
 
Assuming Sales, Freight and Percentages are in A2, B2 and C2 then enter this
in D2

=IF(AND(A2=0,B2<>0),1,IF(AND(A2<>0,B2=0),0,C2))
 
Sales is in B1 and freight is in b2 and the caluculation would need to be in
B3. I just included it to show what the end result should look like.
 
Then use this in B4

=IF(AND(B1=0,B2<>0),1,IF(AND(B1<>0,B2=0),0,B3))

In Excel a FORMULA can not refer to the its own cell so you need to have
four cells...
 
I think you misunderstood me. B3 is where I need to build the formula to
calculate the percentage of the freight (B2) to the sales (B1) the 2 pieces
of data that I have.

=IF(SALES=0,IF(FREIGHT=0,"You don't say what you want if both are
0",1),IF(FREIGHT=0,0,FREIGHT/SALES))
 
If both are "0" then blank ("").


OK, so remove the text between the quotes. Adding your cell references from
elsewhere in the thread:

=IF(B1=0,IF(B2=0,"",1),IF(B2=0,0,B2/B1))
 
Well then

=IF(AND(B1=0,B2<>0),1,IF(AND(B1<>0,B2=0),0,B2/B1))

that should be an easy one to calculate.................................
 
Thanks Glen that worked as well.
