Excel if true then use formula

if C5 = else then 1 or 2 it will return to "" (Blank)

Thanks

Thank you sir

your exact formula which returns to FALSE if C5 = is not equal to 1 or 2.

=IF(C5=1,(D10+1)*Worksheet!BB1,IF(C5=2,(D10+1)*Worksheet!BF3))

Thanks

You can also simplify this to

=(D10+1)*IF(C5=1,Worksheet!BB1,IF(C5=2,Worksheet!BF3,""))

or change it to

=(D10+1)*choose(C5,Worksheet!BB1,Worksheet!BF3)

Rather than having an IF statement you can use a lookup table. Set up table like below:


1     BB1
2     BF3

I realise the BB1 and BF3 are cells but the table could link to those cells.

Assuming table above in Worksheet!A1:B2, the formula would then be:

=IFERROR((D10+1)*VLOOKUP(C5,Worksheet!$A$1:$B$2,2,False),"")

Mr. Saqib Husain Syed,

Will you please explain your formula =(D10+1)*choose(C5,Worksheet!BB1,Worksheet!BF3)
Just for My Knowledge.

Thanks

Choose will return the second argument if c5=1,and the third argument it c5=2. This can be extended to 30 arguments.

Thank You

Slight clarification, if required.

Syntax =CHOOSE(Number,Option1,Option2,Option3,..,Option30)

Number is the Option which will be chosen. So in your scenario if C5 = 1 then it will choose Option1, if C5=2 then it will choose Option2.

In your scenario, the CHOOSE would have to be included within an IFERROR to allow for other values in C5:

=IFERROR((D10+1)*CHOOSE(C5,Worksheet!BB1,Worksheet!BF3),"")

Thanks

Thank you Mr.Rob H

You might like to control the error condition with something like

=(D10+1)*CHOOSE(min(C5,2),Worksheet!BB1,Worksheet!BF3)

so that you always have an answer.

Thanks for all the replies folks.
