Hi,<br />
<br />
I am working on an excel worksheet and I am encountering a circular reference error. I have attached the Excel spreadsheet. I encounter the problem when I change the formula in cell B8 &nbsp;to test for another condition (W8 &lt;&gt;&nbsp;0) in the IF statement. The formula works fine until I add W8 to the statement.<br />

Hi,

I am working on an excel worksheet and I am encountering a circular reference error. I have attached the Excel spreadsheet. I encounter the problem when I change the formula in cell B8  to test for another condition (W8 <> 0) in the IF statement. The formula works fine until I add W8 to the statement.


=IF(AND(I8>=$AM$6,R8<>0,S8<>0,T8<>0,U8<>0,W8<>0,X8<>0),1,IF(AND(I8<=$AM$7,R8<>0,S8<>0,T8<>0,U8<>0,W8<>0,X8<>0),-1,0))

Problem with Excel Formula Calculation

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Microsoft Excel

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.

Spreadsheets

Productivity software is application software dedicated to producing information, such as documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music and digital video. Most common programs and suites such as Microsoft Office and LibreOffice have their own topics. Office suites, which brought word processing, spreadsheet, and relational database programs to the desktop in the 1980s, are the core example of productivity software, but they can include communications software, personal information managers, groupware and log analysis software.
