Q about: IfAnd or is it AndIf?

[Michael Saffer]

Dear folks,

I have used either the "andif" or is it "ifand"? function before, but for
the life of me right now
I can't remember the right way to make this work. This is my huge problem
de jour.

I have to show the difference between D2 and D1 in cell E2 but only if A2=A1
and C2=C1.

I have to show the difference between D4 and D3 in cell E4 but only if A4=A3
and C4=C3.

The correct answers would be E2 = -30 and E4 = 0

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Try something similar to:

=if(and(A2=A1,C2=C1),D2-D1,0)

In E2:
=if(and(a2=a1,c2=c1),d2-d1,"")
(show nothing if a2 is different from A1 or C2 is different from C1?

In E4:
=if(and(a4=a3,c4=c3),d4-d3,"")

Thank you Dave and Damon.
I am able to use both solutions with the similar results.
I will adapt your solutions to fix the problem I had.
Emphasis on "had".

This forum is incredible.

Thank you very much,
